I Installed A New Electronic Ignition In My Cessna 172 Installing Electroair Electronic Ignition in Cessna 172B - Game-Changing Upgrade!" Welcome back to Glen's Hangar, aviation enthusiasts! In this exciting episode, join us as we dive into the world of modernizing aircraft technology. Today, Mike Victor Uniform, our trusty Cessna 172B, is getting a major upgrade – the Electroair Electronic Ignition. Special guest Adam from FlyBoyz Aviation, hailing from Michigan, joins Chris in the hangar for a multi-day project. The Electroair Electronic Ignition promises to be a game-changer, bringing our aircraft into the 21st century. Adam explains how this upgrade, compared to traditional magnetos, provides significant performance gains, making it the most cost-effective bolt-on performance improvement available today. The video takes you through the entire installation process, from the initial run-up to boroscope inspections and the meticulous steps of installing the electronic ignition system. Adam sheds light on the advantages of this system, from improved valve cleanliness to enhanced fuel scavenging, resulting in cooler exhaust gas temperatures and slightly higher cylinder head temperatures. Key points covered in the video: Timing and Installation: Learn about the importance of correct timing, checking manuals, and aligning the system for optimal performance. Spark Plugs: Explore the differences between traditional plugs and those used with the Electroair system, offering higher voltage and a more extended burn for improved efficiency. Coil Installation: Watch the installation of the coil, understanding its role in delivering the high voltage required for the electronic ignition. Boroscope Inspection: Adam conducts a thorough boroscope inspection, revealing the potential impact of the new system on cylinder and piston cleanliness. Wiring and Breakers: Discover the meticulous wiring process, the use of breakers for the coil pack and controller, and the rationale behind the dual-breaker setup. Panel Upgrade: Witness the replacement of the ignition switch with a new panel, streamlining the controls and enhancing the overall cockpit layout. Controller Placement: Learn about the strategic placement of the electronic controller unit, keeping sensitive electronics away from excessive heat and vibration. After the installation, a successful run-up and system check confirm the smooth operation of the Electroair Electronic Ignition. The video concludes with plans for a test flight, promising a follow-up with fuel burn and performance data. Stay tuned for the next episode, where Glen and Mike Victor Uniform take to the skies to showcase the real-world impact of this transformative upgrade.
