Hello Everybody,
The Sonex literature has great info on installing the magnetron and coils, but not much info on how these actually work and what they do. I have only flown traditional certified aircraft until now. So, I am used to two mags, mag checks, etc.
The Sonex I have has one mag toggle switch and one coil toggle switch. Should I be doing some sort of preflight check on these items? Do both need to be working correctly for the engine to operate? It would seem the coils may not be necessary once the engine is running. As always, any help understanding these systems is appreciated.
