At one time there was a single drive to a Tee connector that drove both
magnetos. Stupid design that probably met some budget requirement with no regard to why there were two magnetos to start with. Dylan's statement that "most two magneto engines have single points of failure" surprises me unless he's talking about other components. A properly implemented two magneto setup is fully redundant. -- Jim Carter Rogers, Arkansas "Maxwell" wrote in message ... "Dylan Smith" wrote in message ... I know a pilot who had a double magneto failure, too, which resulted in the C172 on its back in a field. Guess what - most two magneto engines have single points of failure. What caused the mags to fail? |
