Once a Maule MX7, and now highly modified for high altitude bush flying. Some of the modifications include extended wings with leading edge slats (Wayne Mackey), extended empennage and larger tail surfaces for improved low speed control. The landing gear has been radically changed and uses two custom hydraulic shock absorbers, each with compression and rebound dampening and over 25" of wheel travel. The engine is a Lycoming IO-540 with a cold air induction & 10:1 pistons, swinging a 90" propeller. At Denver's altitude, takeoff power is quite good, but at higher altitudes more is always better! This is why I have the G3 ignition system. It's primary purpose in my aircraft is to provide a timing retard for a nitrous system. The nitrous is used as an altitude normalizer and activated during ground acceleration and initial climb. With the G3 ignition timing retard function, I can run a larger nitrous boost without fear of detonation. As a bonus, with the ignition system alone, there is an increase in static rpm by roughly 50-75rpm, and a smoother running engine.

I like the fact that this product, unlike others, allows the stock magnetos to remain in use as a redundant system. This means I can run dual electronic ignition without running dual batteries; ultimately saving weight and increasing safety. I've installed (and removed) a competitor's electronic ignition system, and found the installation of the G3 and its components to be much easier. Thank you very much for developing this product!

Sincerely, Geoff Meyer

After installing the G3ignition system, My RV-6 with an O-360-A1A engine starts much easier, a smoother idle, and noticeable improvements in overall smoothness and power. My fuel flows at cruise have drop from 10.6 gph to 9.6 gph at 23” @ 2400 rpm. Noticeable fuel savings at other power settings also. It sure is nice to know that I have great performance electronic ignition system with the back up redundancy of Slick magnetos. This is a nice set-up.

Sincerely, Brandon Jewett, Colorado

Power Play, SA750 “Super AcroDuster” is running the G3i module with Bendix 200 series magnetos. Configured with MSD 6a and start / boost retard system. Additionally, the ignition harness also has modified to incorporate the MSD 8.5mm superconductor ignition wire, and NGK Iridium automotive fine wire plugs. Powered with a supercharged IO-540-C4B5 the performance and smoothness is next to none. Fuel consumption at cruise has been reduced considerably also. See ya in KOSH 2008 @ IAC Headquarter parking.
