Another advantage to the mag ignition is the added nose weight. Every warbird I have built(what I fly) needs the added weight. I just assume the weight be functional instead of dead. Aerobatic pilots, however I think, would be looking for any means of saving weight(is electronic lighter than mag?). Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking electroic ignition. I thing it's great in auto's, and I certainly don't miss the days of setting points and drying out distributor caps, but I also know that most piston engine full scale aircraft are still using dual mag ignition systems. I believe it's strictly a matter of preference. Some of my fellow modelers swear by their battery leashed ignition systems, while some of us on the other hand swear by a spinning magnet. Anyway, enough hot air from me.
What did we do for fun before the internet? I can't remember that far back!
Best regards, and Happy New Year, I here the wife calling me to sample her smothered cabbage and roast pork.
