While at OSH, we ran across a vendor who has a newly stc'd
electronic ignition available. They are hard at work on the adding all
the Grumman AA1's and AA5's to the the AML. This seems to be a proven
product with over 2500 installed in experimental's .
The system
keeps one of your Mags (for safety & back up) and substitutes a
pick up sensor in place of the second mag. You should see an increase
in efficiency and performance. Fuel savings should be in the 10%-15%
range, there will be an increase in usable horsepower and high altitude
performance.
I have spoken with the President Michael Kobylik and
he is eager to work with our group to get his product out there. We
have discussed a group buy and the discount will be determined by the
response from customers.
Mike has asked that I
send out some feelers to the group so he can judge the interest.
This
seems like a great product and since it is already STC'd for all 4 cyl.
Lycoming powered Cessna's, it is just a matter of adding the Grumman's
to the AML which should take 30-45 days. We are scheduled to install a
unit when the AML is done and can provide feedback at that time

The system looks to be very high quality and simple. There are no overhaul requirements, just inspection at tbo before installing a new engine if you choose to do so at that time. We have used similar systems in race cars and have had excellent results.
Please forward me your information: Name, Phone number and Plane/engine type if you would like to get in on the group buy. This is a no obligation sign-up list and no up no money is due until you actually buy a system when the group buy is finalized. By signing up you are not obligated to pay any money or to buy a system. The list is just to gauge interest so the discounts can be determined. Final group buy pricing will only be available after the close of the list. If you are not on the list, you will not be eligible for the group buy pricing.
The whole system lists for $3400.00 and sells retail for $2890 at Spruce, and if there is enough interest we are working on a nice discount for the group buy.
Michael has included this press release from Oshkosh and I have some photos that I can forward since the Gang's server removes them.
Feel free to contact me or you can contact Michael directly. No further details on the pricing will be available until we assemble the list for the group buy. When that is done, there will be an announcement made here on the Gang. Please don't bug Michael about pricing, but feel free to call to discuss the system. If you do call Michael, please let him know that you have a Grumman and that you heard about it from this email. For now, we will keep the list open until Sept 15, 2011.

Press Release Below:
***************************************
317 Catrell Drive, Suite 2 - Howell, MI 48843
517.552.9390 FAX 517.552.9391
email: sales(at)electroair.net
For immediate release July 25, 2011
Airventure 2011
Oshkosh, WI
Electroair, the “first to advance ignition”, announced today the receipt of the first FAA
Supplement Type Certificate (STC) for a pure electronic general aviation piston engine
ignition system. The initial STC is engine specific for all Lycoming four cylinder
engines installed on Cessna Aircraft – additional airframe eligibility will be added over
the next few months. This STC allows installation of Electroair’s proprietary
computerized ignition system in certificated aircraft.
Significant performance and economy improvements have been documented in use of
Electroair’s ignition systems, over 2,500 of which have been previously installed in
experimental aircraft. With issuance of the FAA STC, virtually all certificated general
aviation aircraft will be able to enjoy the power and fuel economy the systems provide.
The Electroair electronic ignition system replaces one magneto with the following: an
RPM measurement device, a manifold pressure sensor and a high output coil all
controlled by a sophisticated and versatile controller to advance timing according to
altitude and provide a significantly hotter, longer duration spark than previously
available. Aircraft spark plugs are approved.
Electroair President, Michael Kobylik said upon receiving the STC, “Under the
leadership of the Chicago Small Aircraft Directorate, the FAA provided tremendous
support and careful guidance in our two-year long testing and documentation process,
leading to the design approval.”.
Industry sources see the very flexible electronic ignition system, perfected by Electroair
as part of the answer to changes in future aviation fuel and a way to achieve large
improvements in fuel consumption and performance enhancements right now. Electroair
anticipates obtaining STCs for all six cylinder Continental and Lycoming engines over
the next several months. Contact Electroair at 866-494-3002 and sales(at)electroair.net.
For more information go to www.electroair.net. See Electroair at EAA’s 2011
AirVenture convention July 25- August 31 in Oshkosh, WI, Building C, Booth 3175.

""Aw man with all those cowl sales you should be rolling in it. 
Seriously, Michael will be calling you. I think this will be a good product and you can sell and install some.
