Klaus,
Steve Hanson of Redmond Air set my engine and he is out of town so I cannot answer the timing questions until next week. Last night I flew aabout 45 min and shut down. With the engine stopped the angle read 3.6 degrees, the RPM was 360+/- and the MP was 23+/-. I cycled the avionics master and "mags" off and back on - the firing angle went to 1- - - - but the other 2 gave the same readings as above. The Grand Rapids EIS at the time showed MP of about 26, RPM zero.
You said to set the altimeter to zero which I just realized that I did not do. The field elevation is 3070 ft and the alt setting was 30.08. It it important to the EI that I set my 2 altimeters to SL?

Regarding your info you published on the Lancair list:
The manual for the Plasma CDI asks that the timing is verified with a strobe light before flight.
What numbers did you see when you did this test and how did they differ from the display?
With your engine not running, altimeter set to 0 ft altitude, what does your MP indicate on each instrument?
Regards,
Klaus Savier
