Ja, Bob, that's retarded, relatively speaking.
WoW....
Here's a piece of solid engineering data
we can hang our hats on and put to good use.
Ja, Bob, and I'm not even an engineer. Does it tell you something that
spark timing on autos has "advanced" into this century while spark timing on
aircraft engines is mired up in the 20th?
What your reply tells me is --
until you are more engineer than lawyer...
lawyers know jack **** about advance
or timing... except as it applies to collecting
monies from clients and adversaries.
Inform Continental immediately of your discovery.
Save the world... and maybe a whale or two? g
You can be sure they've been playing, experimenting with something like
Unison's Lasar in their skunkworks wing.
SO?
Lightspeed Klaus used to advance timing on his O-200 to as much as 45
deg.
btdc. I wonder if he still does. I was just reading Klaus's
denunciation of the magneto as something of an ancient relic. I think I
agree with him.
1. Isn't Klaus's denunciation..... an infomercial?
Yeah, but if you've seen how his ignition will shoot a hot spark across an
.040 gap and fire fouled plugs a mag can't budge, you'd be sold.
I am sold.
I'm just not gonna write an outrageous check for an
upgrade that is not required and CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED
by my current airworthy application.
You may be a dumb **** that just gotta have the latest
and greatest to stay ahead of the Jones's. I *do not*.
2. Has not "thinking" gotten you into a ton of trouble, before?
Hell, no.
Klaus's ignition works.
So does the Electroair.
So do magnetos... at a far, far lesser price.
This is rec.aviation.experimental. Be in it.
Quit the cheap shots and condescending horse****. OK?
I've was in experimental aviation before you got out of diapers.
BTW, this is...... rec.aviation.homebuilt ---
Does anybody that takes issue with me know where they're at?
Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Variable timing ignition is more efficient, saves fuel, gets you there
quicker.
Let the spin stop for a moment.
Give me some hard numbers that I can take to the bank.
My calculator sez...it will take me a gazillions years to
recoup an investment in any upgrade priced like Klaus's
at the current price of auto fuel and the hours I fly per year.
Figure this, too....
When a Klaus unit drops dead and I can't find Klaus or I'm
cross country and need to get home what do I do? Buy
a standard magneto to get home and then mail the offending
high priced Klaus unit to the Republik of Kalifonia for service?
I'll pass, thank you.
As an advocate...
you ain't **** until you part with your cold hard cash for the
above product. Until you do, your call for me to join in
rec.aviation.experimental? is as hollow and empty as your
friggin' head. I own and fly experimental now and began it
with a Fly Baby in the early '60's and belonged to the EAA
when Rockford was the cool place to go.
