John,

Yes, it's frustrating. I've been waiting for my 6 cylinder E-Mags for well 
over a year. HOWEVER, every time I talk to them they are extremely clear 
that they have not set a date for release. Only when I really press them 
will they give me their "guess". They make sure to say that their guesses 
are usually wrong and that they are not promises or schedules. Actually, I 
find it a bit refreshing compared to some of the "it'll ship next week" 
promises that I've heard from other manufacturers.

I've been using their 4 cylinder product on our 320 for a little over 500 
hours. I have found it to be more dependable and far more efficient than a 
standard magneto. At the same true airspeed I save almost 1 gallon per hour 
(160 hp stock Lyc O-320) over a magneto. This fuel savings has easily paid 
for the ignition system.  If this same efficiency and dependability carries 
over to the Continental 6 cylinder, I can't imagine any reason not to 
install it.

I have no connection to E-Mag, financial or otherwise, and am passing on 
this information only as a report of the results that I have had with their 
product.

I agree with Doug - it is one of the best examples of vapor hardware ever.
BTW, are the 4 cylinder ones "certified"?

Thanks,
