Howdy folks:
I have just finished installing a dual LSI ignition system in my flying RV-4. I had 280 hrs total time on my Slick mag system. I sold the whole shebang very quickly and have worked for the last month on the LSI project. I mounted the coils on top of the engine and the Plasma III control boxes on the cabin side of the wirewall.
I installed a small 5.4 amp hour Power Sonic battery on top of my current B&C battery. I followed LSI's dual battery wiring diagram.
In ground runs, it is a major change. Runs like an electric motor! Very smooth, just as advertised. I have not flown it yet since we were grounded by high winds today. Hope to fly it on Thurs when I get back from a trip and looking forward to reduced fuel consumption. Photos are here at my Flickr web site:
