I don't think I'd worry about the mag drop. I too get 400 or more drop on
both mags and have for 450 hours. If everything else seems to run fine,
then fergitaboutit.

Flight,
While this may be a little off topic it does show the direction that one of
the largest kit builders is focused. You might even find it a lot
familiar...
Here are 2 new aircraft types that Van's has on the drawing board.
RV-11 It's a motorglider with a Rotax

RV-12 It's a 2 place aircraft with removable wings and a trailer and has a
912S Rotax
http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-12int.htm
Now does any of this sound familiar??????
I think we are a little ahead of the game.
Should account for a lot more Europa Sales

Excessive drop on both mags suggests air/fuel mixture problem. Changing the
needle valve position from 2 to 3 worked for us. Are you getting hesitation
and detonation in the mid-range?

I had to go the other way and lean out the mixture after finding wet plugs.

Is excessive mag drop a sign of too lean of a mixture at low to mid range
speeds ? - Paul
