Default re: rcign Ignition

The experiences I've had with the RCIGN system have been nothing but good. I had Ralph convert a four stroke glow engine to gas using his ignition system. This thing is very impressive !

The magnet and sensor are small and light weight. The machine work is extremely well done, we used to call this kind of work "craftsmanship".

The "box" is a small light weight module that I believe could be mounted almost anywhere. The plug wire and cap are shielded, the plug cap locks onto the plug.

On the test bench I mounted a Futaba 127 PPM reciever, switch harness, battery and servo within two inches of the module. The test was run with the engine running from idle (1400 rpm) to full bore (8600 rpm). The radio system performed flawlessly with no glitches.

The plug will spark every time the magnet passes the pick-up, at any speed, you cannot turn the engine over slowly enough to not get a spark. With no plug in the cap it produces a spark at least 1/2" long.

I've run this system for approximately an hour on a set of AAA nimh 720 mah batts and it's still good to go.

All of this with a lifetime guarentee !!!

Needless to say I'm very impressed with both the engineering of the system as well as the quality of the installation.
