Here you can follow the progress of a complete rebuild of my Quickie Q2 with a Revmaster 2100D (65HP) aircraft engine. I severely damaged the aircraft in an off airport (highway) forced landing due to a separated (spliced) mixture cable. Also my VISION aircraft build is at: https://calvinthorne2.blogspot.ca

First Engine Start on Electronic Ignition
April 30/20 Today I finally had everything connected. It was time for the first start using the new CPI Electronic Ignition from SDS Ignitions. The Revmaster engine fired up after three full revolutions which is it's normal cranking for startup. The engine ran very smoothly through a few low RPM settings and then I shut it down. A friend assisted me in setting up the initial timing of 10 degrees using his timing light. The timing process was completed in fifteen minutes. After timing was completed I went through the programming and set all the vacuum settings as per the default table in the user manual supplement. The original magneto spark plug wires are tie wrapped up out of the way and the magneto switches are grounded so the mag cannot produce any spark or noise.
