The only fully self-powered, direct replacement magneto utilizing electronic components. Champion’s Lightning Series Magneto requires no maintenance during the time-between overhaul life of a Lycoming or Continental Engine.
Traditional magnetos are highly reliable but have mechanical parts in constant motion that wear over time. Champion’s magnetos have always been engineered so that mechanical parts wear at a balanced rate, however these parts do require regular inspection and maintenance. Champion’s new Lightning Series Magneto has taken the reliability of a traditional magneto and eliminated the mechanical parts subject to wear, reducing any need for inspection and maintenance during an engine’s TBO interval. Traditional magnetos are engine-driven, self-contained units that supply sparks without using an external electric source.
With years of magneto manufacturing and engineering development experience, Champion’s new Lightning Series Magneto remains a highly reliable, engine-driven, self-contained unit that supplies high energy sparks without using any external power source!
