      The main reason is the magneto fits is the airframe nicely and doesn't require a battery. They are also supposed to be relliable. The last airplane engine I had used CDI ignition and it just quit one day. Fortunately I was on the ground.

      I'd love to see that too. I am a bit slow though since I have a lot of hobbies and a short attention span.

    Also the condenser from a different brand of magneto works externally on those. Cant recall which type, maybe that dual mag brand?

      I've seen where Casler installs the external condenser. I'll research it more later, but for now it seems to be firing just fine.

    Hi bro can i do this on a 4 cylinder vw engine? And do i have to put a flywheel on for crank shaft?

      I don't know. I haven't done any research on the 4 cyl conversions.

    Just take the alignment pin out

      That was the original plan but it's been in the hole for so long it didn't want to leave.

    Why not just run a distributor

      You can run a distributor but then you need a battery and a way to charge it. The mag is all self contained. The other reason on the Ultracruiser is packaging. The mag fits nicely between the rear of the motor and the firewall. A distributor would stick up through the cowling and ruin the sleek look.
