My -4 had a Pmag and an Emag when I bought it. I recently had the Pmag rebuilt and the the Emag converted to a Pmag. Hope to have it back in the air in a few weeks.[quote]---

Do they even still make the E-mag, the non self powered version?
I wonder what the performance differences are between E/P-Mags and the competing LSE- Systems in terms of additional power output as well as fuel savings?

I wonder if anyone has ever run a single LSE in conjunction with not a Magneto, but rather an E/P-Mag for two truly redundant electronic ignitions?
Hmm, I wonder how they would work together, i.e. if both competing EI systems would be mixed on one engine??? Hmm...?

Like most systems I prefer diversity so I would never run two PMags but I would never run two Light speed either.

HI Konrad,

Well, the evidence seems to be accumulating that they have. More and more of them are in use in RV's in my area, KLVK, and so far it looks like they may have worked through those early problems. I remain somewhat cautious but thinking about starting with one and see how it goes.

I was browsing the P-Mag web site this week. They look pretty cool, but the web site really makes no mention of whether there's any real performance/economy benefit to them. Does anyone have any real world experience along these lines?

I've got two standard Slick mags on my IO-390. If I dumped $2200 on a pair of P-Mags, would I really notice any difference? The IO-390 already starts and runs great. More power and better economy are always welcome, though...

Well, I guess that speaks for itself about your happiness with the E/P-Mags... How much time was on your P-mag before the rebuild?

Well Matt,

If you want more performance by adding Dual EI's, then you can't
really go wrong with Klaus Savier's LSE-II or -III's, but I do not
know if the P-Mags are performing equally as well in that department.

I will have to check the logs, not absolutely certain. Since I was already sending the emag for an upgrade to pmag, I decided to send the pmag for a cleaning and inspection. Good thing I did, Brad found an issue with it that needed to be addressed (user induced, not a defect). I can't say enough about how nice he has been to deal with.I am also switching from aircraft plugs to auto (NGK) plugs, and installing EmagAir's harness.> Well, I guess that speaks for itself about your happiness with the E/P-Mags...
