Stephan,
I have been considering the best way to arrange ignition switches for my
RV8A with one mag and one EI. I had pretty much decided to go with a key
switch, until I learned of some safety issues with using a key switch. One
RV4 accident occurred when the key switch failed and turned off the mags.
I have toggle swithces for my mag and EI. No keys ... I keep the plane
hangered so I will live with the threat of theft. Works great and I have never
forgotten the keys !!

Stephan,
We have been running our RV-8a in this configuration for the last 300 hrs.
Impulse Mag and one Jeff Rose EI's. Both toggle switches are located next to
each other on our switch panel. The only down side to the dual switch was an
extra hour labor charge from our FBO when they were working on the ac and
wasted the hour trying to figure out how to start it instead of calling me.
Procedure to start the AC requires energizing the main bus, placing the
impulse mag to on, mixture/fuel pump/throttle, and start button on the grip
then the EI.
It seams complicated but once it is running you can fly the AC without
having to reach for a key switch to restart it in case of problems.
