Default RE: Home made CDI question

Bill is correct, you need a high voltage coil to make a spark. If flying is more important than building then go buy an RCexl ignition. You can't build and troub leshoot cheaper than that. If you derive a lot of satisfaction from building, then have at it.
Attached is a photo of a mechanical advance as well as photos of a schematic that has been published on another forum for an ignition that does work.
