Thank you for your interest and visiting my miniature ingnition systems webpage. I have been making solid state 'buzzboard' systems for over 5 years, and miniature coils for over 3. The items shown on the website are geared towards the model engine builders, but I can build or modify my systems to fit other needs such as electronic 'buzzcoils' for antique autos and motorcycles... There has been a change in the hobby, and now I am seeing more model engine 'buyers' than model engine 'builders'. The difference between the two is great and it poses challenges for those who supply materials, parts, or systems to the end user. Model engine 'builders' literally know their engines inside and out, and are familiar with the functions of points, coils, and timing. Model engine 'buyers' usually aquire an engine 'completed' and have none of the hands on knowledge of the engine or it's workings. This lack of knowledge leads the 'buyers' to expectations that are at times unrealistic, model engines..
