Question P-Mags vs electronic ignition
What is the difference?
And which should I install in my IO-360 (RV-8)?
Thanks for helping reduce my ignorance, which is a never ending job

Pmags are electronic ignitions.... form factor is the only difference.

You should pick the ignition you are comfortable flying behind.
