Kevin:
I do believe that it is possible to fly high without pressurized mags if everything in the system is just right. For example, it is much less of a problem on our rear engine than on the front.
The fine wire plugs are actually an attempt to help mitigate the problem. They are supposedly better than massive electronde at altitude. In fact, they did help substantially, but did not solve the problem completely.
I have decided to take Skyking's advice, pull the front mags, and make sure everything is within tolerance.
My A&P is going to let me pull the mags off myself. Then he is going to inspect, adjust, and put them back on. Any advice on removing the front mags would be greatly appreciated since it looks to me like they are going to be pretty hard to get off.
Thanks,
Kyle
