Electronic Ignition=STC

[Oscar Avalle]

I have been using a LASAR ignition for several yes. It works great. In the past I had difficulties starting the engine. After installing the LASAR it starts much easier. I also like the fact that I now have the LASAR plus two magnetos as a backup. Does it make a difference in terms if mpg, I really don't know...

Just saw this update for electroair ignition and dual magneto installation.

I'd like to see my M20C approved for automobile gas as part of the STC for electronic ignition.   Here in California where there is currently a lawsuit against the sale of 100LL such a conversion is rapidly looking more interesting.  If we compare the cost of such a conversion and STC (let's call it $10K for the O-360-A1D) and if autogas is $2 cheaper than 100LL, it will be a break-even in 500 flight hours.  That's a pretty good return on investment -- especially compared to scrapping the airplane due to no 100LL.  

 

 

 

Will never happen. California gas contains ethanol. The FAA will never allow ethanol in aircraft.

Thanks for reviving my six-year-old post. In that short span of time:

• 100LL is still available, to my surprise 
• The California lawsuit I mentioned was dismissed 
• Most automobile gasoline sold nationwide still contains ethanol derived from corn.

I'd guess you're right: Automobile gasoline is not going to replace 100LL, especially for higher compression engines such as your IO-360.

But have you noticed the new signs around airports in CA warning residence that aircraft lead may cause health problems. It’s a first step.
