Hi Guys.

does anyone know of a cdi kit suitable for zenoah type (rcmk) engines with adjustable mapping/ignition curve?

This seems to be the only one i have been able to find

www.modelbouw.gompy.net/newcdi/index.htm

Im interested in developing the zenoah based engines to run on methanol and ignition seems to be the weakest point with these engines. fixed timing, wire plugs & dope = disaster!!

ive also got a few other questions in relation to availability of engines. I notice that there are a few people playing with reed/crankcase induction. Is there anyone making gas engines with rotary valve/crankcase induction and/or barrels with removable heads or inserts in order to play with squish design and combustion chamber design?

anyway, one step at a time i guess!!

The ignition looks good but i think its Transistor type and not Capacitive discharge, therefore probably wont have enough spark energy (15-20kv compared to 40kv for CDI)..
