Pic No 16 View of the instruments - fully loaded. Check out the rather nice compass. There's a single Ignition switch (on the right-hand side with the brown/red protective cover) since that's all the liquid-cooled Rotax 462 has.

Other models of the Rotax engine have dual ignition; i.e. two spark plugs per cylinder.

Pic No 17 This is for redundancy. Two totally separate ignition systems mean that if one packs up, the other keeps you going. They seem to be pretty reliable though, so single ignition isn't all that bad.
