slick maggs
HELLO ALL, I am a new tail wheel pilot I just purchased dads cessna 170 B n3210A . have been flying a comanche 400 the last 9 years ! I HAD a wonderful 11hr flight home from mod to ats nm. did not mind the extra fly time at all, I got well aquatinted with my new lady! but enough about me heres the problem the maggs now have over 500 hrs since the last rebuild in 1991. I ordered the slick kit 0n 9/4 ,maggs harness & fine wire plugs from spruce all for $1473.00 I called to check on my order 10/4 they told me that champion had purchased the slick division from unison & now the same deal would cost me $2653.00 needless to say i am not happy!

Re: slick maggs
Have your Bendix mags rebuilt a lot cheaper. I highly recomend Aircraft Systems, 5187 Falcon Road, Rockford, Ill. 61109 Telephome 1-815-399-0225. I have used them for overhauling and or inspecting and repair as necessary for three sets of mags. Always excellent work.

Re: slick maggs
According to TODAY'S Aircraft Spruce catalog ONLINE.... the price is still about $1400 for 2 mags, harnesses, and plugs. They have the BLUE harnesses in current stock at those prices.

Re: slick maggs
I just got a service bulletin in the mail from Cessna for Slick mags citing a problem with premature wear on the breaker cams. Something to think about at any rate.
