There are several RV-10s with it installed. I have it, but not flying yet, nut
should be In a few weeks. I'm sure that Thomas will share the other contacts.

Easy to find which one based on egt's, and I think Klaus and I determined
it was from heat after shutdown. I have a plenum and from that point on, whenever
I stop the plane and put it in my hangar, the next thing is to turn on a
fan placed in front of one of the intake holes in the cowl.... about 15 minutes
brings the temp down substantially. No issues since. Suggest all with single
or dual Lightspeed do the same.

I've got it. It eliminates the need for shower of sparks and gives good redundancy.
My engine runs very smooth with it. No hot start issues. Half the cost
of other systems and covers all plugs. Easy install. No spark advance though.
Thomas can explain his thoughts on this. Flew it since day one so I have
no comparison data.
Be happy to answer any other questions about the system.

We installed the G3i on my buddies Superior IO-360 in his Cozy MKIV and in addition
to easier starting and smoother running, he shaved 9% off his fuel flow at
cruise power settings. I am going stock Slick mags for now and get a bench mark
that I can measure to when I install the G3i

I was going to try the G3i system, but decided to wait until after the
bird is flying. Hadn't heard about any RV-10s with it.

I'm in the engine building business. We've used Electroair systems with
great results (real nice system for the 540.. If you talk to them tell
them Tom Lawson (with the Lancair) sent you. Cheers, Tom970-420-1798

Comparison data should be easy to obtain. Just turn it off and run on the mags.
;^). That's my plan in phase I.
