    I would try to make it, and convince the CAA that it's at least as good as the original part. Can't you have it made by a company who can certify it with an EASA document?

    A friends Yak-52 is having problems with the mags. He had a 5-7% RPM drop and had the mags overhauled. They check out fine on the ground during initial runup. After operating for some time, when a mag check is done, the engine nearly dies on each mag. So, when both mags, all is good, when one mag (either L or R) the engine nearly dies. Any thoughts?

    From: cjpilot710@aol.com
    Who were the maqs overhauled by? I once sent out my mags for overhaul. The coils were sent to Savage Magneto, who in turn sent them to their "co il guy". The coil guy decided that the Russians didn't know anything abou t coils, so he modified them. Less windings and added a capacitor. One lasted 30 minutes. The second one lasted 4 hours. I sent them to Carl Hays. They have been fine ever since (some 500 hours now, I think). Jim "Pappy" Goolsby friends Yak-52 is having problems with the mags. He had a 5-7% RPM drop and ad the mags overhauled. They check out fine on the ground during initial unup. After operating for some time, when a mag check is done, the engine early dies on each mag. So, when both mags, all is good, when one mag (ei ther or R) the engine nearly dies. Any thoughts? Craig

    From: "Bitterlich, Mark G CIV Det Cherry Point, MALS-14 64E" <mark.bitterlich@navy.mil>
    Just out of curiosity, does this engine have automotive spark plugs, and if so, what is the gap on them? Cutting to the chase, it is shot-gun long shot not based on enough evidence, but if these are auto plugs, you might want to replace them and make sure the GAP is not set to around .035 or so. I think Dennis recommends around .020, or something like that. (ASK HIM!) But I do know that if your plug gap is set too wide, you will have the mag drops that you mentioned AND the engine can be hard to start, as well as running a lot differently once it has warmed up. That happened to me, and it took darn close to 6 months to figure it out. Failing that, I would recommend making darn sure that the mags are installed and timed properly which is no easy task. By "timed", I mean not only with a buzz box, but also that the rotors have been set properly, which is often overlooked. Again, talk to Dennis or George Coy.
