ERic and others,

At what altitude does the engine begin to stumble if the Low boost isn't
turned on?  Lancair says to turn on the LOW at 10,000 feet.  Is this a good
number?

What happens if you forget to turn off the low boost on the way down?  Is
there a risk of flooding the engine at low power settings with the low boost
turned on?

On another note, when the ignition switch is selected to the START position,
are both mags hot?  I'm not even sure if one or both of the mags have
impulse couplers on this engine. I've been told that the mags are a Slick
pressurized model.  If not an impulse couple on both, is there a problem if
both mags are hot when cranking?

Thanks for the help.

Hal Woodruff
