RE: DA-50 Ignition Module problems
mine went off to DA for repair and or replacement seems the Ign. on the Da is very easily destroid when a stray piece of your shielding gets rubbed off. Mine failed to start one day on the 2nd flight of the day I had good spark one min and poor or no spark the next never more than a pop out of the engine. Da has told me that the shielding had rubbed on the fire wall or some place. I knew there was an issue with it when i flipped this over outside after Dark I could see the spark along the wire shielding however I failed to see where it rubbed. I dont know if there is a reason other than weight but if this was rubber coated wouldnt this prevent such Failures? or use a better insulation on the center electrode? On another note this and other electronic ignitions will fail if you flip the engine over with out the plug attached the high voltage will jump back into the modual and wipe out any electronic circuitry the 40,000 + volts will fry anything in its path.
