Mags

Hi Snappy, How are those new mags running?  Frank

I installed them last week and found out that I had the "intermintant miss" going and sent them back to EMAG for the firmware update.  Brad shipped them back UPS next day and I got them yesterday 28oct05.  I'll get them on today and give you the update.

Except for the miss though, the O320 ran excptionally smooth at less than 50% power and felt stronger.  However I did not have the dip switches set properly and only got 2000rpm max throttle with elevated temps.

45% throttle gave the same rpm, but at normal temps.  My switch error did not allow the EMAGS to properly advance and was thus running retarded.

I'll tell you more later and add the before/after specs.

Test flew for 1.5hrs with NO problems.  Smooth operation to full throttle and all temps were in the green.  The "Intermentent Miss" was corrected through a software change/update by EMAG on the bench.

Wx was still a little rough with clouds and 12kts 90 degree xwind which the LEZ handled without issue.  I'll wait for more stable conditions and compare performance numbers before/after.  So far, the smoothness of the O320 is amazing.  Also, I always run with the throttle set to shutdown in the full closed position.  With the E/P Mags, the enging continues to run at approximately 650rpm where before it would stall with the mags.
