REFLECTOR: Exhaust systems

[Mike Pollock]

I would like to know the answer to.  I have used both electronic and mags
and both do put a bit of soot on the prop, but neither cooks the prop.  The
soot can be wiped off with a rag.  We have found that the amount of soot on
the prop is directly proportional to the distance the prop is from the
exhaust pipes and the clocking of the blades.

Enlighten a soul wandering in the desert of ignorance.  Why will electronic
ignition prevent BBQ the prop vs. mags?

Take a look at the ones he does for the parallel valve 540 Berkut, it
sounds like they are very similar.

I'm very happy with mine, but you MUST use an electronic ignition or you'll
cook the prop.
