Guys,

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Surefly ignition system in their Thorp? I have an IO-320-D1A with the Hartzell C/S prop and will need to do the Slick, 500 hour check soon. The Surefly web info looks good but so do all the others. I like the fact that it is basically a plug and play system because I don't have real estate on my firewall for control boxes. Also the fact that it is an STC'd system helps with the confidence factor.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

regards,

Jim

I have one in my Thorp .. same setup as you Jim. IO-320/CS prop. Jason Hutchison is the head of the company and a friend. I was one of the first adopters ... never had so much as a hint of a problem.

Just a thought. I have slicks as well. I have the old style with metal gears. I’m over 1300 hours on them without messing with them. To me, if my mag timing doesn’t move a single degree in 21 years, I’m not touching them.

Lee,

Do you have your Surefly set up for the advanced mode where it will alter the timing up to 38 degrees? If so do you see highter CHT's?

Regards,

Jim

Jim,
No mine is set up standard, I may chose to put it in advanced mode at some time though, I’m going to talk to Jason about that in a few weeks.
