Hi Brad and Tom,
My RV6 has been flying with the P-Mag for
about 100 hrs now and I just have to tell you how impressed I am with it's
performance. After the rather simple installation on my 180 HP RV6 I
immediately noticed how much smoother my engine ran and how much easier it
started. It did not take long to notice that I was also getting more
performance. At the same power setting as before, (2350 RPM and
20" of MP) my true air speed increased by 4 MPH. I also
suspected that my fuel burn had decreased but did not have a document able
way to confirm that until now. We just returned from a 3000 mile
trip to the northwest, an annual ritual for us since 1991 when we first
flew the RV. For several years in a row we have been in company of
friends with an RV6 with an IO-360 Lycoming. Every trip leg this
fuel injected RV would burn about 1.5 gallons an hour less than our carbureted
O-360, mainly because the injected engine can run lean of peak. This
year however I was able to match his fuel burn. From this I conclude
that the P-Mag has reduced my fuel consumption by at least a gallon per
hour, a fact born out when I compared my figures from previous trips.
We flew at altitudes up to 12,500 feet and the P-Mag ran smooth as silk
and so far has never missed a beat.
I am sold on this ignition and will install
two P-Mags on the new RV7A I am building now.
Thanks for building a better way to light
the fires,
Martin Sutter, RV6 with 2300 hrs
