Hi Sam, I went through this same situation with my plane a while back. I replaced the Slick mag, a non-rebuildable model, with the SDS system, and did so for the same reasons, i.e. new tech, similar price point.  I had a lot of difficulty getting the wiring done correctly to allow me to perform

Hi Ray, Thanks for this write up.  Being new to owning an aircraft, this is the kind of thing that I may have overlooked and I am sure others learned from it as well.  It is very easy for those who have been around aircraft all of their lives to gloss over small details like this without a secon
