Installation Gallery

Here are a few examples of some previously installed Leburg systems.

Mike Mold's Jodel D9:

 "The Leburg system transformed my D9, making starting safe and easy (particularly when the engine was hot) and provided a consistent electrical supply for the radio & GPS".

Rob Swain's comments:

"The VP1, G-BAPP starts easily and flies brilliantly thanks to the
Electronic Ignition.
In fact, she started first blade after being completely rebuilt from the
crankshaft up and has been wonderful ever since - that's how effective
the ignition is!"

G-BUDW Colibri




L107 Sparrow



John Jenkins' KFM112M engined Kitfox








Rob Thomas' Acro

"It's the first engine I built with a Leburg. It was an ACRO conversion that had sat on a shelf for nearly a decade before I bought it. That was the first ever run of the engine. So long as fuel is getting in, it will run since the Leburg is idiot-proof. It starts at 3 degrees after TDC instead of the 28 before TDC that you have with Mags. No more missing fingers!"

 Dave Shrimpton's Tipsy Nipper

 Mike Clark's Flitzer










Neil Spooner's Nipper





"I found the instructions for installation easy to follow, all parts made to a very high standard, and technical support excellent. The ignition system has proved to be very reliable, providing easy engine starting at all engine/environmental temperatures unlike the magneto system it replaces. There is no maintenance required, and the inclusion of an alternator provides power to drive various items, including strobes; radio; and back-up electric fuel pump. The overall weight of the system including the batteries is comparable with the old magneto system, but has the added advantage of providing an alternator.

I would highly recommend the Leburg system to anyone operating a Permit a/c."

Stuart Ord's Corby Starlet

"It has a Great Plains 1834cc VW type 1 without electric start. It had its carburettor above the engine and so had 2 electric fuel pumps and 2 batteries. It did not have primer, just choke. Once the technique was mastered of priming, it was easy to start, usually starting first blade with the ignition on."
