The table you site is for an aluminum prop.

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. ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 7:23 AM Subject: G3I for IO540 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 Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 8:26 AM Subject: RV-List: G3I for IO540 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.

Does a single system cover both mags? ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:26:26 AM PST US From: Charles Brame Subject: RV-List: 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?

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.

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.
