Electronic Ignition is almost HERE!!

I've been in contact with Gami and Teledyne. Teledyne will have a FADEC system for the skymaster STC'd sometime in 2003. GAMI will have their system done about the same time. This is exciting news to me. Finally, something that brings us into the future and eliminates the mags. Unless you really enjoy adjusting them?

At 10k per engine, I think I will wait until the dust settles. That was the "quote" at sun and fun.

Gami will probably be more reasonable, however, they are taking a different (non-conventional) approach using cyl pressures as a reference for leaning. Then there is the issue of .......being first!

Wouldn't it be nice to go back when fuel was 13 cent per gallon..
and no tax! Balls to the wall.

Wow,

Just scanning through old forum messages on EI. The concept of Electronic Iginition and FADEC for the TCM IO-360 really just disappeared into a black hole.
