I thought the discussion started with torquing the bolts on a wood prop. The table
you site is for an aluminum prop.

Hello Carl,
The G3i timing characteristics is a fixed timing event, there is no
timing curve, Not needed. For example, IO-540-C4B5, Lycoming calls for
25 degrees BTDC. This is where you would set your mags at. The first
Multiple Spark Discharged would be at 25 degrees BTDC, and continue for
20 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Timing control modules can be
interfaced for a adjustable 15 degree window, depending on your
requirements and variations,turbo/supercharged, etc. The G3i
Installation Manual, drawings (section 8) shows the timing control
module interfaced. link: http://g3ignition.com/G3Iinstall.pdf
Thanks,
Thomas S.

Tom,
Please let me know how the timing characteristics of this ignition
with the IO-540, and what engine parameters are used in setting the
timing curve.
Thanks,
Carl

Hello Dave,
Yes, with the G3i system, the Multiple Spark Discharge is energized
while starting, thus taking place of the Slick Start/ Bendix Shower of
Sparks. Also, both mags are energize while starting.
Yes, a single system runs both (L&R) magnetos.
Sincerely,

Does your system eliminate the Slickstart requirement? Does a single
system cover both mags?

Subject: | Nose wheel shimmy |
With regard to a wallowed out bolt hole in the top of the nose wheel
strut:
A couple of my compatriots suggested tack welding the lower bushing to
the motor mount in about three places. The welds would prohibit any
rotation of the strut while not affecting the vertical movement of the
strut. It would not allow removal of the gear strut without grinding
the welds off, but removal of the nose strut is seldom required, if
ever.
Any comments, pros or cons?

Not sure what the heat from the welding would do to the temper of the
strut. Just a thought. The other thought is that you might want to
remove the strut to check for corrosion (rust) since failure of the
strut would be pricey.

Direct from the ACK website, for those of you like me waiting for their
qual to complete.
ACK E-04 406MHz ELT RELEASE UPDATE 3/04/2009
We have been pushed back by the COSPAS/SARSAT military electronics proving
grounds again. We were re-scheduled for March 9th back in February, and now
we have just been re-scheduled again. Here is the quote from the lab we
received today.
"We are having difficulties in getting our test equipment back to working
order. Mid-March is not possible for us to support your testing. Right
now it looks more like mid-April. We will keep you posted."
Besides this hold-up we are currently finished with the environmental
testing and data submittal packet for the TSO approval on our lithium battery
pack for the 406MHz ELT. We are at the final stages of TSO testing for the
complete ELT. The last phase consisting of COSPAS/SARSAT testing at the U.S.
ARMY electronic proving grounds is now expected to be complete by the end
of April. The U.S. ARMY lab will submit a application for COSPAS/SARSAT
approval. After that we are ready to submit the final TSO application to the
FAA which they have 30 days to approve or reject. We expect to be in
production and shipping product by May of 2009. Our apologies for any
inconvenience.
The retrofit kit for replacing the old ACK E-01 ELT installed in your plane
will be $560.
