New Champion Lightning Series Magneto

[bertschb]

Just watched this video from AVWeb at Oshkosh about the new Champion Lightning Series electronic magneto. Looks similar in concept to an E-Mag but is self sustaining at 100rpm and no maintenance through TBO. Bolt on magneto replacement. No battery or additional wiring required.

The only problem (for me)? Not available until 2026 :-(

It will be popular. Specs sound better than the P mag

I saw that video too. It sounded like there’s no option for spark advance. Seems like a disadvantage compared to PMags (I suppose some may disagree with that point). It does not require a connection to ship’s power so that’s a plus.
