I know electronic ignitions have come a long way, and are almost the “standard” now, but with some cutting edge companies like SDS and EFII (maybe others??), electronic injection is also on the scene now.
Is this technology ready to be placed at the pointy end of our lifeline in the sky? This is not so much an SDS vs EFII thread, as it is an electronic ignition vs Bendix thread.
For me, I love the dual ECU redundancy of an automotive like injection system, with no mixture knob, however I am not a fan of no mechanical fuel pump.
It seems like these full electronic systems DEMAND a back up alternator and battery for true redundancy.
I appreciate your thoughts and responses.
