Looking ahead to when I need an ignition system for the 1/4 scale V8, I recall reading about an electronic ignition system which had a variable advance curve. I've tried to find it again now but can't.
I can see some systems advertise variable advance, but it seems all they do is retard the timing, say, 20 degrees, for starting purposes, and once running, switch to full advance.
Does anyone know of an ignition system for small motors which has an actual timing advance curve built in?
Even better would be if the curve was adjustable. Or even, even, better if the timing was programmable, against rpm and load.
I know a full sized car stand alone ignition system would be ideal, but is far too big and expensive for my purposes.
Or, is this sort of ignition control not needed with small model engines?
Thanks in advance...
