I have done a bit of online searching in regards to estimated cost of controlling magneto ignition engines, definitely cheaper than adding cdi,... however, a point raised earlier has been uncovered as an issue. The plane will not make the 20 lb limit with magneto ignition, It may actually be difficult to get it to 20 lbs. using electronic ignition.

I like to think I'm not stubborn to the point of foolish,.. or maybe I'm just plane foolish.
Now I'm wondering if the engines I have can even be made to do what I want. They may be too heavy, as well they may not develop enough power, I would like them to swing a prop that has a little bit of scale appearance. I was thinking an 18 inch 3 blade @ say 8500 rpm?


Going to start a thread to help develop this project.
