I am glad you have been trouble free with you ignition systems. We have a couple of guys in our club that are forever having trouble with them and I've seen a few of their planes go dead stick and create an emergency situation because of them.
You and I are the same age, so I guess we are both somewhat set in our ways, so if it works for you....enjoy! I've been building and flying mostly warbirds, so weight in the nose is not a problem for me. In fact, I usually need as much weight up front as I can get in order to avoid having to add lead.
I'm running a couple of G-62's on various aircraft and love the simplicity and reliability of the engine. I use a Miller Products belt reduction electric starter, so starting these magneto engines is not a problem for me. I don't like sticking my hand in that prop.
Merry Christmas to all and a happy holiday season.
