Hi Dave,

I’m not sure about the auto advance, I’ve only ever had experience of a DKX2 running at half engine speed, but that was 12 degrees advance, but due to the gearing gave an effective 24 deg. It was awful as it over advanced so I went back to a magneto.

I’ve made/designed many electronic ignitions mainly for model aircraft use and your comment about not kicking it enough. I’ve always used hall effect sensors and mangnets as the pickup, which work at almost zero engine speed. What kinkd of system have you designed?

Cheers,
Rich
