It covers all important aspects of the ignition system, including the magneto coil, rotor, capacitor, points, P-lead, impulse coupling, and ignition harness. With expert insights from author John Schwaner, you'll learn about key concepts such as "E" gap and internal magneto timing versus magneto-to-engine timing. Discover how altitude, temperature, and maintenance play a role in the performance of your magneto, and find out how to choose the best model for your specific flying needs.
