I just received the latest Central States Newsletter, a quarterly canard
publication.

Steve Wright complains of multiple failures of different electronic
ignition units in 500 hours of flying. Rose ElectroAir, P-Mag, Light
Speed, and even a Unison Mag.
Quote "the bottom line is, all the EIs are less than perfect and do
fail. It's good that we have 2 of them."

I've been flying 700 hours and never one failure of my single trusty old
Mazda 2nd gen RX-7 box, that does EI and fuel injection.

I have a Jeff rose that has 2600 hours on it. Only failure was the lead
coming out of the crank sensor broke. Newer versions solved this problem.
