Hi Rob..
Strangely enough, that's exactly what I did last night. The curve I made is exactly like you said, and then I added the rest of the points to make a smoother curve. The engine runs it's best that way. Now I have to buy some different props and experiment some more! It actually works better than I ever could have imagined!

I used to have a mechanical advance linkage connected to the throttle on the carburator.. The software and curve now imitates that setup 100%. What a wonderful world of electronics we live in. I particularly like the tracking software and the ease of editing the curves and uploading to the PIC chip. Clearly a plus for the novice types who just want a simple to use, easy to work with ignition system. There are no secrets to learn..it's all there in black & white for the reading and results in a great system for anyone wanting a high quality ignition..one step above all the rest I think.

I would like to express my total appreciation to you and the programmer for working so hard on this project.. I believe you can now market this system and get paid back for all your extremely hard work and effort to make this system possible. I know for a fact that if I couldn't build this system I would definitly buy one from you... It's that good! I just hope that others will see the same point of view and take advantage of the simple system it is and appreciate all the hard work and many, many hours you have dedicated to this system!

I am currently researching some ignition coils to use that are reliable for a CDI. I found a few that sparked my interest. As the information is found, I'll be listing them on the forum for those interested.. S&S Machine's website listed a few ready made and wired ignition coils for around $20 U.S. They have spark plugs, boots and wired Hall Effect sensors also. Check them out first, for R/C plane engine coils and wiring...good quality stuff for our needs. Also, BCCHI has a few coils left over..see what he has to offer.
