Hi mate, I reckon you have the engine from WVW. I installed that engine with John Orton from WA in 2013. The sensor ontop is just a hall sensor and a bosch electronic ignition system mounted on the fire wall. Ask John Williams for the engine book as al the details are in the log books in full detail and how we wired it up.

Hi All, I am currently breathing life into an ex Thai H36 S/No 3534 Ex VH-GNW . I have still a long way to go but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. The engine I will be using is from another wrecked H36. It is a much later delivered engine (2013) and has a number of real nice features. The main one being the heads. They are genuine Limbach dual plugs per cyl ones and of much better design than the standard ones. For example long reach plugs both top and bottom which also have matching thread depth which includes factory installed steel inserts. The casting quality is also significantly better. This engine was in an Dimona which was wrecked in a storm so some of the bits around the engine were damaged, but the core engine is just great. The standard Mag in installed for the top plugs but the bottom ones were driven by a sensor in the distributor hole and some electronics to make it all go. The system that was installed has a label that says Aeropower Engines West Australia. By chance do any of you know about this company ? They have a website but no info on the ignition system I have tried to call them but no reply or email response. Or any suggestions re setting up the secondary ignition. The H36 is very weight conscious so while I am reluctant to add extra weight, I do think a secondary ignition though would outweigh the disadvantage (we have had one Mag failure where the Slick condenser shat itself just after take off) I must mention the support of Nigel Baker and Rob Thompson in Australia for both this project and the previous one. (H36 S/no 3537 ZK-GCB which has just passed 500 hrs in New Zealand since being back in the air).. Best regards Ian Williams Drury New Zealand
