All,
I installed the final production verson of the six cylinder pMag on my old RV-10. I had installed a beta version, it is now replaced with this standard version that is being shipped out to customers.
Installation was very simple. On install you set the timing to whatever you want. For me I decided on MIN timing at 25 degrees BTDC (same as the mag), MAX timing at 34 degrees BTDC. I still have the standard Slick mag on the left side for now.
The plane flew home to Florida yesterday. Preliminary performance indicated measurable gains in effiency. I’ll have better data as we build time but for now some examples:
- 12K’, LOP, 169kts TAS, 2380 RPM, 19.8” MP, 9.6 GPH. CHTs in the 350-360 range.
- 10K’ LOP, 169kts TAS, 10.1 GPH
- 12K’ ROP, 177kts TAS, 12.7 GPH
For this trip the plane was flown solo, with perhaps 150 pounds of cargo.
