I've never heard of them before. There is precious little information on their web site.
FWIW, I have a number of modifications planned for my KR next year. One of the mods will be removing the Slick mags and installing a pair of P-Mags. I've been maintaining a set of E-mag/P-mags on a GlasAir for the last few years, and I have to say, that for an after market ignition, they are about as simple and offer more to the end user as anything I've seen on the market. Incredibly simple install. No static timing to do. Up to 37* advance in cruise flight. On the O-320 and O-360 line of Lycomings, the spark advance seems to help save up to a gallon per hour in cruise flight. At the price of Avgas, that is a significant savings. Additionally, since I'll be removing my Slick mags, I'll have a set of relatively low time Slicks complete with drive gears, harness and spark plugs for sale. Note, this won't be before next summer at the earliest. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > > On 12/9/12, Larry&Sallie Flesner <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > Has anyone hear of any late developments on the > > "Smartplugs"? http://www.smartplugs.com/aircraft/airboat.htm > > > > Looks like they were developed 10 or 12 years ago but I've never > > heard of them.
