It seems that every time we do an article on electronic ignition system (EIS) our email box fills up with comments—pro and con—and questions. The aftermath to our piece on Electroair’s EIS in the May issue was in keeping with tradition.
One owner wrote: “I was one of the early adopters. The system installed on my Mooney Encore was wired through the rotary ignition switch, resulting in unreliable EIS operation. Electroair recognized the wiring error and to their credit, instructed my mechanic on how to bypass the rotary switch and install a dedicated switch for the EIS.”
