The magneto drive looks expensive. I would think triggering a bunch
of MSD ignitions off the e-shaft or flywheel would be less costly, weigh
less and
might work much better than an aircraft mag. What is happening in the
states is most of the experimental aircraft guys are switching to solid
state ignition systems. My next door hangar neighbor Klause of LSE is
making most of them.

I really got excited when I saw this.
I spent 16 years drag racing blown cars.
Looks like a 3:71  overdriven from what I can see.
And yes, Paul I believe you are correct in the MSD concept.
I converted an O-200 with dual msd's with crank trigger, and
the cost was around $1100.
