Light Speed Engineering (LSE) is a pioneer in the design and production of ignition systems for experimental aircraft. Sixteen years of research and development have been invested in producing the PLASMA CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) system product line. LSE's Plasma CD systems are the ideal replacement for yesterday's magneto technology. You can replace one mag with a Plasma CDI or, for maximum performance, replace both magnetos with these state of the art systems.· No Moving Parts · Hotter Spark
· Reduced Maintenance Downtime & Costs · Instant Start
· Designed Specifically For Aircraft · Easy To Install · Saves Fuel
Standard Plasma CDI kits for Van's Aircraft include:
Hall Effect Module, high tension leads, harness, spark plugs, spark plug adapters, and ignition coils with mounting bracket. One or two systems can be used.
PLASMA II Plus
The Plasma II plus is Light Speed Engineering's basic electronic ignition system for aircraft. It is a lightweight, high-energy capacitor discharge system containing all of the essential Plasma CDI features. Its smaller size and lighter weight sets it apart from any other ignition source.
Like all LSE ignition systems it features automatic ignition advance based on engine load and RPM, auto retard for starting and a standard pulse tachometer output. The Plasma II plus was designed to provide a high tech ignition source at the cost of magnetos, with the following capabilities and output features installed.
Key start option- Allows the use of aircraft key switchOutput 1 - Timing AdvanceOutput 2 - Manifold PressureOutput 3 - RPMOutput 4 - (+)5V Power for the optional LCD DisplayCockpit adjustable timing advanceInterconnect for Dual Plasma CDI - provides automatic timing optimization if only one system is functioning.PLASMA III
The Plasma III is Light Speed Engineering's high performance continuous spark capacitor ignition system. This system has a long duration spark, which improves horsepower and smoothness, especially with poor mixture distribution and extra-lean engine operation. Racers choice! This system has the following additional capabilities:
