Skip,

The reason I asked is because I had one mag and one Light Speed. I now have
two mags.

Lee Behel had Light Speed ignition on his Legacy for a while. He started
having problems and put mags back on. He had his control boxes on the engine
side of the firewall too. My understanding is that the heat from the engine
did bad things to the control boxes.

I was going to mount the control box on the cockpit side of the firewall,
but didn't have enough room (I had to recess the center part of the firewall
to accommodate the TSIO-550).

 Jon Hadlich (from Lancair) installed my wiring. He didn't want to put the
control box anywhere near any system that might be affected by the high
voltage of the control box. As a result I'm back to two mags. I'm
disappointed. I was hoping you had found some magic place where the control
box could live without too much heat or adversely affecting my "electric
airplane".

First flight the last half of next month (Jan 2005). I think I'm really
there this time!!!!!!!

Lynn,
   I ended up putting my control box on my firewall.  Klause prefers it go
inside, but it would have been too hard with all the wires and MAP hose that
has to go to the engine.  I mounted the box on a piece of aluminum and then
put an aluminum shroud over it so it's somewhat protected from dust and any
oil drips.
