Len,
Too bad - a little competition might be a good thing. I'm skeptical of the
Lightspeed system in that it doesn't include a vital part (the non-impulse
magneto gear) and the manufacturer cannot say with certainty where to get
it. I makes me wonder what else might be missing when you get the $2,000 box
...
The story of these projects is often "You pays yer money and you takes yer
chances" to quote Popeye. I'm pretty tired of it. Have you ever tried to get
assistance from the manufacturer when installing King or Narco avionics? No
dice, even if you paid full price from an outfit like Aircraft Spruce a
new-in-box item.

Jeff Rose is not selling his system anymore ... he is supporting it for a
while.

Don't forget the e-mag alternative. If I were doing it again, I would
probably go that route.

Steve:
I have the Lightspeed on my 8A and love it. I have encountered one problem
in the 302 hrs ... the timing kept getting off. I had met Klaus at Oshkosh.
He is way above me in IQ so it was hard to keep up with him explaining the
Lightspeed but after I had the timing problem ... I knew a little more about
the system having installed it and run it.
I was in California and went by his shop to see him. He truly is a great
guy. He fixed my problem at no charge ... my system was 3 years old by then.
I
wanted to buy some plugs from him ... sold them to me for $2 each. He is
really into racing his Long Ezy.
I would not be concerned about dealing with Klaus. I have the Hall unit ..
got mine from my engine builder.
Good Luck !!

Stephen,
If you are unable to scrounge up a drive gear then get yourself the other Lightspeed
pickup version. There is a front mounted pickup plate available, which has
trigger magnets mounted in the flywheel. I do prefer this frontplate pickup
instead of the rear mounted (drive-geared) pickup module.
BTW: I think the Lightspeed's are a first class product, even if the drive gear
itself is not included in the rear sender.
