Sounds like a repeat of what happened to me a month ago. I use my Firestar  

II for aerial photography. I did a run-up, no problems, taxied down to the end  

of the strip, while taxiing I adjusted my camera bag to the other side of the 

 cockpit...right in front of the mag switches. I then applied takeoff power,  

noticed about 5300rpm instead of 6300rpm, thought "that's strange." Took off  

anyway, like Dan, made it out (slowly) of our 3,000 ft. strip. While enroute  

(slowly) to altitude, the thought clicked (finally) into my weak mind...."I  

wonder if that camera bag knocked one of the mag switches to Off?"

 

Guess what? It did. Things can happen so easily.

 

Guess what? I don't put my camera bag there anymore.
