Electroair Ignition: Performance, Support

摘要

With the Lycoming O-360 in my Grumman Tiger freshly overhauled, I decided it was time to replace one of the mags with an Electroair electronic ignition. At the time (I started shopping for it and a Garmin avionics package at AirVenture 2017), the investment in the Electroair EIS 41000 seemed risky. Generally skeptical of manufacturer claims of improved performance, I also thought about dispatch reliability (we fly a lot) and maintainability as the system aged. Six years and over 1000 flight hours later, the ownership experience has been satisfying, and just as important, so was the outcome after I put Electroair and a support shop to the test to fix a system failure. First, some words on performance.
