Hello all,
So the RV-8 I just purchased has the LASAR ignition system, and unfortunately the slick mags it uses are just about to the point where they need to be overhauled. Instead of paying to overhaul the one off mags, I?m debating replacing the LASAR system. I?ve priced out 3 options.
2 Slick Mags - $2500
2 P-MAG?s - $3200
G3I Ignition - $4600
The airplane currently has an auxiliary battery, but I like an ignition that isn?t reliant on ships power, so those are my 3 options.
I like the idea of the P-MAG?s the best, but have been unable to on find any data on reliability of the new, v40 firmware, latest version of the hardware P-MAG?s. I also think the P-MAG would be the most straightforward install given the LASAR setup I would be removing already has a Manifold Pressure Line etc.
What are your thoughts?
