Bernie,

Did you get your ignition issues figured out from Ky Dam?

Hi Bob,

The Pmag would not work for starting but it started on the Bendix mag each time (even without an impulse coupling!) Once running, the Pmag would come online. It seemed to work fine all the way home. I am sending it in today for the internal electronics to be replaced. Brad, from Emag company, thinks it is a bad connection somewhere on the circuit board. Worst part of the trip home was the very low ceilings and light rain the last hour, but made it home ok.

Should have it going again in a few weeks and hopefully done with ignition problems!

Bernie

Yep. Still trying to figure out how to get the canopy open in flight though, so I can polish it before I land!
