I got my shiny new P-Mag installed last week and the first flight was wonderful.
The second flight, yesterday, was more like Clark's.  The P-Mag reset it's timing in flight resulting in a nearly total power loss when running on that ignition alone.  I had been running on each ignition alternately trying to compare timing.
I just got off the phone with Brad Dement at E-Mag.  He said that they'd become aware of the problem only about a week ago.  What happens is that the unit "forgets" the timing that is established by the quick setup method and reverts to it's base timing.  He offered me three solutions to the problem - firmware, software or setup.
I'll send the unit back for the most reliable fix.
Mark,
 
What the devil is the "base" timing?  Zero for start up?  20-25 DBTDC like a regular mag?  Your experience doesn't sound like a very good failure mode.
