Thumbs up Emag/Pmag Factory Support

Had my left PMag 113 act up on a flight Sunday. 396 hours total time. Glad to have a second Pmag running smooth to get me on the ground and sound.

Took off the unit and overnighted to Brad at Emag. They got it at 10am this morning, rebuilt it, and shipped it out by 4pm so I can get the plane flying again for the weekend. Great service.

Default Pmag update

Appears that the internal circuit board went out. Lost timing resulting in misfiring. Simply isolated it (have one switch per unit) and returned to base on second mag which was smooth and quickly dropped CHT.
Installing both Pmags back on AC now with new board and updates. Was last updated in 2008. Hopefully back in air Saturday when I get time to finish up.
