Roger,

I'm assuming you have not had this issue with your airplane??? I believe our airplanes are identical back there.

Yep....this one was caught on my usual in flight mag checks. Ground run was fine before take-off. 15 min later at 9,500 feet, the plug was just along for the ride. :o)

As best I can tell, I spent $1,200.00 for all the cables and 10 hours of labor to do the job. Labor was another $770.00. So about $2000.00 for the entire job in September of 2009.
