Klaus' best guess is that we just need to rock the prop a bit faster. He believes we have everything else correct. We will try that tonight and,

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils
Thanks, everyone.
I will answer the questions and some thoughts in this reply and then again as more come in.
Yes, it is a Hall sensor. Looks as though most are thinking like us and that it is

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils
Continuity testing a Hall device with a VOM will destroy it instantly. Just in case you were considering it.
O’scope is the way to go.

It is a hall sensor. I once replaced one which was sheared off by the magnet.

As you are planning inboard land gear, the strength required at the tip of the canard is much reduced. With the gear at the ends of the canard I would not touch a repaired spar under any

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils
A hall sensor measures presence of a magnetic field (or not). A simple magnetic sensor (coil) will see a “double” peak as the magnet passes. Not sure which type of sensor Klaus is using, but I

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils
I just went through the same issue on my Cozy installation. Everything checked out but still no sparks. Eventually traced it to the mini-sensor not being correctly aligned to the trigger ring. Aligned

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils
Not sure if Klaus uses Hall sensors or not, or if it even matters, but there may be a high pass filter on the input from the sensor, that effectively blocks the signal if the magnet does not move past

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils
That usually is a sign that the sensor is not picking up the trigger on the crank. Check the spacing etc. I have installed several of these in the past with 0 issues so it is probably something

Would this be a decent guide to potentially repairing the spar? At this point repairing can serve several purposes without risk. If its strong and works yay! If it doesn't

If you need information on the gear stuff mentioned in the newsletter Drew Aurigema is a friend/business partner so can put you in touch. He might still have everything still. I know he gave me a set

Good advice, Jim. If Cody is going to go with inboard gear, either tail dragged or nose dragged, then he could also do a Waddlelow design.
