Craig,

I've a= lways worried about moving the ignition switch in flight (as John reported), so in my ES= I installed two independent switches, one for each ignition. That el= iminates a single point of failure.

John,<= /div>

Yes, no= t a bad idea=E2=80=A6.however=E2=80=A6.I have done three different types of= cruise mag checks.

1. = I was flying by myself. Obtained desired data.=

2. Flying with better half and f= ailed to =E2=80=9Cinform=E2=80=9D her I was going to do a mag check.

3. &n= bsp;Flying w= ith better half and informed her I was going to do a mag check and one mag was failed. (Engine= stopped=E2=80=A6)

As an honorable man, I can= only recommend one of the three methods.

If one mag if bad and = engine stops, I recommend you pull mixture to idle cutoff, switch back to b= oth mags and then slowly advance mixture and set proper fuel flow. Simply switching back to = both mags can cause unwanted noises when the fuel in the exhaust ignites. U= nwanted noises can cause bruising around your neck.
