Great lunch with Mark, Jeff, Paul and Chris. I was about half way home when lost some power. I was a little reluctant doing a mag check, but I thought what the heck. Sure enough right mag was down. After doing some checking the magneto was fine just a bad key switch. The funny thing is Jeff and I w
We put a hex on it. Sorry. Glad it turned out to be just a switch issue.

Jason,
Your plane will certainly handle the altitudes along your proposed route. I
