I just got a replacement Slick Unison ignition kit for my A75 from Aircraft Spruce.They seemed to have the best price out there. Included were two Slick magswith impulse couplings, complete harness, and complete set of Autolite aircraftspark plugs. When the bill came there was a notice that core charge forthe mags would be credited upon return and acceptance of my old mags (Bendix)from Unison. Shortly after sending in the cores, Aircraft Spruce credited myaccount with the core charge. A few weeks later, Unison sent me a check too...they offer a credit for upgrading your mags to Unison/Slicks. Not bad.I was going to try to fly over to Old Kingsbury Aerodrome today for their openhouse and fly-in, but my fuel shutoff valve is weeping from the seal and I'm havingto drain the tank before I leave the hangar or fuel seeps out onto the floorboard.Parts are on order. Until then, I'm limited to local flights withjust a few gallons in the tank so I won't have to do the drain-and-refill dealeach time.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 24 May 2008 14:14:03 -0700 (PDT)
