I’m pretty sad that I didn’t take a picture of the ignition system we used. Technically it’s not magnetos, but a direct replacement: we decided to use the SureFly electronic ignition system. It’s nice because it has a vacuum (manifold pressure) attachment, so it can control the spark timing based on RPM and manifold pressure. We decided that would be a nice middle ground between traditional magnetos and the FADEC system we originally put on the aircraft.

Anyway, here’s the engine back on the plane, finally. Now it was just a case of buttoning everything up so it was ready to run.
