Well heck, my KR is not going to make it to the Gathering. Sorry Mark Langford, you'll need to find another candidate for the weight and balance forum.
I was flying back from breakfast Saturday morning. I air I did a Magneto check in air and the left Mag was running rough. No problem, right side was still fine so I made it back to my airport with no issues. I did the usual checks, replaced a couple spark plugs, looked for loose wiring etc. Rechecked all a couple times but to no avail, my Bendix Dual Magneto needs to be pulled and serviced. It will take a few weeks since I need to mail it off to Tulsa OK (Aircraft Accessories) for service and return. They did the overhaul on it 500 hours ago and it has been running perfectly for the last 500 hours, 7 years. I'll get it reworked and run it another 500. I will still attend the gathering, but won't be flying in now, big disappointment. See everyone next Friday. Since I'm not flying I'll bring some "Root Beer" for the camp fire.
