>  I think the safest and best trade is still one magneto and one electronic system.
Ross, et al -

How about 2 magnetos and a dual electronic ignition.  The Lasar (Unison)
System can use your installed harness with its 2 new mags wired to their
electronic ignition box.  Any failure of any part of the electronic ignition
(including total electric system failure), causes a reversion to using both mags as mags.  The usual pre-flight "mag test" is just that,the electronics are turned off for 20 seconds while the mags are function tested.  Timing advance is dependent on RPM and Manifold Pressure.  If you put the power breaker in the cockpit, you can turn off the electronic ignition in flightjust for the fun of it.A single electronic ignition is a hopeless arrangement since the mag is not advanced whilst the electronic ignition should be --figure what that flame front looks like.
