Capen" Subject: RV-List: Anyone want to get rid of their LASAR system I have one in my 6A and like it a lot. Knowing that the magneto portions will need to be inspected / overhauled at the 500 hr mark - I am thinking that having spares would keep me in the air while I await the refurbishment...if the price is halfway right. Anyone out there replaced their LASAR and have it sitting on their shelf? Let me know if there was a failure mode, you wore it out, didn't like some of its 'features' or whatever...along with what you want for it.

Typically all that needs replaced is the PLASTIC Cam that activates the points. When the cam wears down, the points do not open and then the electronic ignition part no longer works. http://www.championaerospace.com/products/slick-magnetos/ On 10-23-2014 9:29 AM, Ralph E.
