REFLECTOR: Electronic Ignition

The Emag was discussed in the yahoo forums a bit last year. Marc Zeitlin had an interesting experience with
them that is documented on his web site here:

http://www.cozybuilders.org/Emagair_Warning/index.html

Marc is an MIT grad mechanical engineer that is now the head of rocket motor design for Scaled Composites.
He tends to rub some people the wrong way sometimes, so I will let his warning stand without comment.

I know many people have run with an Emag for many hours, and they work flawlessly. But the above article
should give most something to think about.

If EMag made a 6 cylinder P-Mag I'd have bought one.

Since they didn't I bought a Lightspeed. 

I had a Lightspeed on my IO360 and it transformed it into a smooth and
cool running, easy starting, LOP engine.
