All,

Thanks all for input and ideas concerning mag drop problems.  Regaped to =
spark plugs to  .028 and upon run-up today after the engine was well =
warmed up, both A and B dropped only 200RPM with no hesitation.  With =
everything else in the green the first flight of KitA205/N205CN took =
Lindsay at my home field Lenhardt's (7S9) near Portland Oregon.  The =
flight lasted .8hr and established power off stall speeds.  Clean at =
53KIAS and flaps/gear down at 42KIAS.  All temps stayed in the green.  =
Fuel pressure was somewhat high (I'm open for ideas or suggestions on =
why).  Bob says the 914 is particularly smooth.  More flights are set =
for tomorrow and I'll post more numbers .
