Ignition Failure: Replacing & Test Flying the Failed Electronic Ignition System on My Airplane

The MAP sensor on my 20-year-old electronic ignition failed, causing inappropriate spark advance. Parts were no longer available, so I decided to replace the entire system. This was a MAJOR project, and took over 30 hours of work to do. In this video I show how I installed this system, tested it, then take the plane up for a test flight - and see the FASTEST true airspeeds I've ever seen before in level flight! 0:00 Why It Needs Replacing 1:41 The Old System 2:46 The Wiring Harness 4:12 Wiring Progress 5:16 New Controller Mounted 6:09 New Coil Pack 7:05 Powered Parachute Paramotor 7:44 Mounting Coil Pack 8:37 Plug Wires Connected 9:12 Blackhawk Visits 9:43 Drybot 10:05 It's Installed! 11:05 Testing Tomorrow? 11:51 No Testing Today 13:49 Perfect Airport Vehicle! 14:10 First Startup Test 16:19 Ground Run Results 16:42 Preflight 18:28 Test Flight Preparation 20:30 First Test Flight 23:57 Taxi Back 25:20 Forgot the Landing Brake 25:40 Second Test Flight 26:25 Fast Climb 26:50 170 KTAS 27:51 Into Lorain 30:11 Takeoff from Lorain 30:59 Landing Into the Sun 32:39 Cool Shadow 33:09 Results No content in this video should be taken as flight instruction or advice.
