Check out their warranty. It's short and not worth anything for long, or

It's one year. If a mag doesn't break in the first year, it's likely to last a *long*
time. Slick also has an excellent record of honoring claims when a mag breaks shortly
after the warrantee runs out.

And if you need help from them at Unison by phone, skip it.

That was not my experience in 1997. I wound up speak with the president of the
company when I had a problem.

I have a bad magneto lead and was really just trying to buy a replacement.
They will play phone and e-mail tag with you, ask you stupid questions, then
shove you over into the corner.

With that sort of request, they generally refer you to a local dealer. In my case,
that was Pen-Yan.

The good old Bendix mags are looking much better to me.

Then buy some.

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.

Really? Hasn't happened to me. I've owned aircraft with Slick mags for over 15 years.
