I have been running one Pmag and one Slick on my RV-9A O-320 for about 150 hours and 18 months now. I am very happy with the Pmag.
It is about time to inspect the Slick and I am considering replacing it with a second Pmag.
I have been searching for discussions on "robustness" of dual Pmags, that is, dependability in all scenarios.
If I have an engine out due to a fuel problem, which I manage to solve, and an electrical problem that I cannot solve, will I be able to restart the engine?
I would assume that without power to the Pmags, as long as I can get the prop to turn at 800 rpm, they will self generate and begin to produce a spark. But will I be able to get the prop turning at 800 rpm?
I may be overthinking this and I would appreciate the thoughts of the Airforce.
