How often does electronic ignition fail?
We just got a new ZDZ 80 which came with a Falkon ignition module. Worked good first few flights then the ignition failed. luckily it didn't happen in flight. It was flown one day, and after landing the ignition was switched off. Next day it wouldn't crank. After working on it for a while we determined that it was the ignition.
I should be getting another module soon (I hope) and get back in the air.
But why would it fail so soon. I have heard from others that ignition modules fail from time to time. That's sort of discouraging being that this one only lasted a few flights. Makes me wonder how many flights I can expect form the next one... And where I'll be when it fails....
An ignition failure is simply not acceptable.
Your thoughts and ideas appreciated.
