| Quote: | | I had previously reported having a Slick mag problem on my RV-10 while at Albany, OR. The problem turned out to be a bad set of points – looked like the point was not crimped onto the spring arm as it should have been. After we borrowed a set of points from another mag, it still didn’t work so we also borrowed the coil. That did the trick. Flew home with the mag working better than ever, smoother and less mag drop than before. I informed Aircraft Spruce, they contacted Champion Aerospace (Slick) and, because I had to make repairs on a holiday weekend with no other maintenance options, replaced the points and coil under warranty. I have to tell you that I like dealing with aviation people. The guys at Albany were quick to offer a hand to a stranded pilot and Slick was understanding that the normal avenue of repair was not available. Maybe aviation people should run the world – or at least show how it should be run.Albert GardnerN991RVYuma, AZ |
