I bought and installed a Lightspeed Plasma III on my plane following OSH. Now I love the benefits of EI. Just a few days ago I heard about the PMAG model upgrade and suspect they now have most of the issues worked out. I shyed away from them with all the problems I read about over the past two years or so, but now I'm intrigued all over again since the introduction of the model 114, and the company now having Bob Knuckols as a consultant.
Here's the thing. Keeping the Slick magneto in good order is expensive and time conmsuming. I'd rather put the $$ into a PMAG if there are no compatability problems. So would putting the PMAG in the impulse mag side of my system be OK, or are there issues to consider here?
Rumor? Someone said that if the PMAG quits (the electrics and internal alternator totally die), it reverts to firing like a magneto? Any truth in that?
Thanks for your input.
