Hi Folks,
I am getting ready to do a first engine start and not able to figure out a question about timing the PMAGs.
- I have an IO-360, Whirlwind 200RV prop and dual PMAGs.
- Firmware on PMAGs *NOT* updated to V40.
- The plan is to run with with jumpers in (Curve A).
The installation manual says that for "light mass props you may want
additional margin to make sure start- up firing occurs after TDC". The recommended timing is 2-3 degrees After TDC in such cases.
Wondering if WW 200RV fits the definition of "light mass prop"? Any recommendations on how should I be timing them?
1) At TDC?
2) Or 2-3 degrees after TDC?
Thanks in advance,
Ashish
