hi!
I have a Duncan Aviation engine. Single rotary with belt reduction to
Lycoming
prop flange.
Hoping you can give me some info for the infrared timing system on the
engine;or any other system available.
I have a Stolph "v Star" project about ready to cover.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Max,
Duncan used "Mallory Unilite" infrared optical pickups phased 180
degrees
from each other at the front pulley. Each pickup triggered a "Mallory HyFire"
box,
(Duncan used two of these) to fire both leading and trailing plugs at the same
time for
each rotor using motorcycle dual secondary coils. Do you have the "Mallory"
boxes?
Feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Addendum
Your single rotor will have only one Infrared pickup,Coil and "Mallory"
box.
