QUESTION... What would you have done?


Having been in this position myself, I can tell you what I would have done.
I left the plane at the airport and had it fixed there.

I agree with your decision. Wouldn't you look silly if that remaining
magneto failed on your way home after you'd found one had failed? Would you
feel silly if you'd had a less-than-perfect off-airport landing and died,
just because you didn't want to be bothered with the hassle of leaving the
plane?

You are right, it's tempting to do the wrong thing. That's true in a LOT of
situations, and not just while flying. But there's great satisfaction to be
had in resisting the temptation and doing the RIGHT thing. I'm sure you
know this by now.

Pete
