Started the engine on N811WT yesterday (with a lot of assistance from Roy Russell). Left mag works good, Lightspeed Ignition may not be timed right, but it does run on on it. The engine instruments all seem to work, the alternator works, no obvious leaks. Hope to be flying in a few weeks. -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A, final assembly ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:25:45 AM PST US From: "Ralph E.

Thanks; I'll head down when I get the chance. I'm actually more concerned with the $50 cost for the kit. I need to look a what the individual components cost.
