And you know something else?   I don't know how many Slick mags I have found 
  on airplanes with the cap backing off the mag because one or more of the 
  screws has backed out and fallen out of it.  It's happened to me with my 
  personal aircraft twice. 
 
We have those mags on five airplanes, and the screws have never 
backed out on any of them in the eight years I have been looking after 
them. These mags fly 3000-4000 hours a year between them. 
OTOH, the dual Bendix mag on the R182 is a positive pain in the 
%^%#$@!
