I'm am not a fan one way or the other,but how can you in one paragraph say mags are bad and always go out thats why they run dual mags on certified aircraft.And then in a later paragraph say you have found a better system that consist on dual (two) electronic systems.Having worked with both system I will say the one hugh advantage to a mag on a car or airplane in the do not usually go out without giving some type of warning,by that I mean the engine runs ruff or misses out noticably.On the other hand when your electronic ignition goe's out it just stops working.You can run as many electronic systems as you want,but if your alternator or batter goe's out I hope the other is working good at 8000 ft above mother earth.And if your going to tell people they are better the mags why not run one ignition.Not trying to stir anything just curious...Bob
Being a geared system, they are, by essence, very unreliable. This is the very reason why there are two of them on an aircraft I On my 2.0 liter Type 4 VW, recently replaced by a 2.4 liter Type 4 VW, I run a fully dual redundant electronic ignition system. This consists of two solid state electronic ignitions, salvaged from 1980's motorcycles. . "Robert L.

Assuming this is true, opinions from any of you who are knowledgeable in this area would be welcome. Also does anyone know where if at all an electronic ignition to use on a VW engine is available.
