Ignition Systems Comment........
Dale.......you are "spot on" with many of your comments. When it comes to horsepower in airplanes....more is always better. I put 500 hours on my RV-6 with 180 hp and a constant speed prop and that high power saved the day on a couple occasions.
My Hummel engine in my Onex (yet to be flown) has a Slick 4220 mag on one side (with an impulse coupling) and a Dyna S electronic ignition on the other (google it and check it out). It is used on motorcycles, like Harleys, etc. It is claimed to work very well on these VW engines.......we'll see.
Gordon.........Onex.......Hummel 2400
