EMag: The Best Electronic Ignition for Aircraft?

[@TurboDirectSA]

Brad is a gentleman, helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to assist - Even us long range aviators in South Africa! I cant wait for my unit to arrive!

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Agreed. I’ll be installing mine next month 👍

[@brucev8339]

I totally agree. Brad is a wealth of knowledge and very willing to share that knowledge. Much appreciated.

What a great product! I have 600 hours on my Carbon Cub with no Issues! Great starts and fuel burn at cruse. I love the looks I get when A&Ps ask me about the timing procedure! I would like to see a You Tube video on inspection, shaft play etc. My apologies if there is one and missed it! Actually, I will call them tomorrow morning 11/25 /24 and ask! Highly recommended. Been flying Alaska for 50 years. Wish I could put them on my certificated aircraft.......maybe someday!

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

@@beverlystocker5359 good to know! I have two now to run on my PA-16 clipper, which is in the experimental exhibition category.

[@MarkShinnick]

Impressed so far because this Lyc 4 cyl design is a simpler installation with light weight and a decent range of timing that isn't sucking amps in cruise.

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

@@MarkShinnick I’ll be running 2 of them on my O-320-B2A this spring.

[@MarkShinnick]

@Blaircraft.Engines Cool. I suggest setting the non-starting one maybe 5 degrees more advanced than the starting one.

[@scotttomlinson1057]

This is good stuff. Refreshing to see. Best to you guys. This will be a long term game changer for aviation in the certified world. Awesome stuff, I am seriously thinking of writing the check for one!!

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

I’m planning to start out with replacing my left mag during the new engine build. Brad is a great guy to work with too.

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Really considering adding one on the Clipper during the engine upgrade… thoughts?

Awesome stuff!! Keep up the good work!

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Thanks! I’ll be installing one of these on my PA-16 Clipper in the next couple months. O-320 with several other upgrades.

[@Alfaspiderman84]

This would be a really nice upgrade for my Cardinal. The current Electronic Dual Mag replacement requires a seperate battery back-up. This would eliminate that.

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Yes. The ability to self power after start takes it next level for electronic ignition in my option. Like Brad said it’s the best of both worlds.

[@Alfaspiderman84]

@@Blaircraft.Engines unfortunately it's taking a long time to get through the certification process.

[@sheriwalbright7224]

Interesting!!🛫 🌟

[@peteranninos2506]

I'm really looking forward to the dual mag for my Cardinal RG! Any time horizon on that?

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

I haven’t been able to get an estimate yet. The FAA process has been a slow one… it could perhaps be later this summer, but I really don’t have nothing to go on other than they’re getting closer.

[@BlueMax333]

would 'coil on plug' ignition be a step forward?

[@MarkShinnick]

@@BlueMax333 Don't see why ..and spacing clearance and heat are important.

[@Love2FlyKAP]

So what if you have no electrical system?

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Great question, you’ll just need a battery for starting. After 500 rpms, I believe it’s self powers then. I’ll ask Brad if you’d like? I can see what people are doing that don’t have a electrical system.

[@billbrisson]

Will the performance and economy improve with one Magneto and one E-Mag?

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Yes. E-Mag shows about 70% benefit with just one installed. I’m actually installing just one, replacing the impulse coupling for my next engine to start with.

[@tonystewart7287]

How long does the backup power last?

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

As long as you have 800 rpm, it will continue providing needed power.

[@omorin34]

I need a dual mag for my Vans. Ex- Money, I mean Mooney engine.

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

It would be a great choice. I believe they’re available now.
