Dual Pmag issues from owners?
 

Made the desicion/order to go with dual Pmags from Lycon.

Anyone out there with dual Pmags have anything to report as far as troubles or issues? Any issues with starting? Dangers cranking on less than a full battery? Anything you would change?


Unrelated, any reason to go with a dual alternator or dual battery setup with a G3X panel?

I have had dual Pmags for about a year and a half now, and they work as advertised. No issues whatsoever. One unforeseen benefit was how smoothly it now idles at about 600 RPM - you can almost see the tips going around.

Not a dual setup but I sure have enjoyed my single Pmag along with a Mag. Starts like a car every time...nuff said for me.

Dual p-mag user for 300+ hours on O-360 firing NGKBR8ES auto plugs. Wouldn't change a thing.

... and, when doing the mag check at runup, the only way I can tell one is shut down is the EGT change - RPM does not move one bit.

2 airplanes with dual Pmags... Very happy customer.

Been flying 3 years with a dual p-mag setup, no issues what so ever, starts first time every time, runs smooth all the way down to 600rpm as Doug said. No way would I even consider anything else.

They're Grrrrreat!
 

300+ hours. One failure that Emag fixed. Wouldn't change a thing.

was running last year when I bought my RV4 with one PMag, one EMag. I had PMag rebuilt and EMag rebuilt/upgraded to PMag. Started last weekend after sitting for seven months - first blade! Smooth as silk.

Brad was great to deal with too. I also bought the auto ignition wires from him, I'm switching to auto plugs.

Here's a pic - wiring not dressed yet so be nice :)

Sig,

I have 180 hours on my dual Pmag set up. I did have one of the screws that bind the wires come loose. I don't love how they have the wiring attach. at some point I would like to improve the connections. I don't know what solution I would use, but if anyone has any ideas I am all ears.

Can some of the existing users that moved from mag to Pmag provide some tangible data? Affect on fuel consumption, perceived power gain and perhaps temps.
I have heard that we should expect higher CHTs, if so by how much did your CHT raise compare to regular meg?

Thanks in advance for all info.
