The salesman did tell me that the engine does not have magnetos.

Liberty XL2 has the Continetal IOF 240 with FADEC. Would the engine run
if
the batteries failed? It does not have a magneto. Would the ignition
system
run off of the alternator? The salesman at Sun-n-fun had no clue. Does
anyone know?



Are you sure there is no magneto? The LASAR has the mags. If my LASAR
fails, they just keep going. The pilot gets an ignition warning light,
and
the RPM's drop a little, but it keeps going just fine.
