I now have 250 hours on my dual system. The only headaches I've experienced were SELF INFLICTED. One included using connectors on timing pickup wires where they should've been soldered and shrink wrapped. Vibration caused intermittant failure initially. The other event did have an internal to the unit failure. This was caused by a crash and failure to properly inspect the unit post crash. Specifically, a large (black box) chunk of plastic (power toroid?)inside the box was hanging by it's wires instead of remaining glued to its base. The subsequent vibration caused those wires to break. His latest models have eliminated two flywheel bolts (used as a timing pickup) which had contributed to an out of balance flywheel. It required the dynamic balancing on my engine but then ran smooth. Anyway he now uses the Hall Affect pickup at the flywheel incorporating the best of both worlds. Two tiny magnets are in the flywheel instead of the bolts. He has crank triggered timing (very accurate) while not imposing any out of balance condition. This new pickup also makes a dual system 100% independent between each unit. I talked to Klaus and Jeff Rose for several hours before being convinced to buy the LSE units. At the time I had friends successfully running both systems. My brother is taking delivery on his engine in the next two weeks. I seem to have him convinced. He's also going with the dual LSE system. I have no sale interest here; just very proud of my plane. I attribute some of my high speed to Klaus' units. I'm sorry to be so verbose; but if you think I talk a lot just wait till Klaus gives you his sales pitch.
