copemech Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) If you think trials bikes are expensive, I pulled up the sale prices on spark plugs for the Cessna today! The Irridium ones are nice! I only need eight of them for a basic 100hp 4 cyl. motor(2 per cyl). Much like a VW Beetle! $77 x 8=? Sparkies! Think I will settle for the standard ones Edited July 9, 2009 by copemech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul w Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 i guess the diference is that if the plug on your trials bike fails, you stop in the section and take a '5'. if the plugs in the cessna fail, you end up with one very large dab and a memorial service !!

copemech Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 The bad thing is, in reality, these things fail all the time. Not such a big deal really, that is why you have two per cyl. Unfortunately, a good old NGK does not fit a standard aircraft motor, although there are a lot of them flying around in converted auto engines and others such as the Rotax motors. Most all standard aircraft have two entirely separate magneto(yes points) driven ignitions installed , both for efficiency and redundancy. Add, to this day, no one will be convinced that pure electronics is "better", and I still tend to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
