| Subject: | Re: SureFly Electronic Ignition |
I am a beta tester for SureFly and do not work for them.
I installed one of their first units a little over a year ago in my RV-10 and have
about 120 hours on it. It ran in parallel with a Slick mag in a configuration
similar to my RV-6 which had an Electro Air electronic ignition and a mag.
The unit runs well and I don't have to think about it. No change was noted in
CHTs. I can aggressively lean it, more so than with 2 mags, and it continues
to run smoothly until a noticeable roughness. No change was noted in starting
- it was just as easy as with the 2 mags and Slick Start.
I wish I had better data on fuel flows from before the switch because my experience
is only qualitative. It is very difficult to compare performance without
hard data. I always run lean of peak in cruise and with the mags I found that
I needed to bump it a little richer from the point where the average EGT showed
a 25 degree drop. With the electronic ignition it runs smoother at that point.
I am now running with 2 of the SureFly units and it appears to run even smoother
under aggressive leaning. This is noticeable during taxi (where I lean a lot)
and in flight where it runs nicely at 25 degrees lean of peak. I have limited
time with the 2 units installed.
