As long as I don't attempt any flights over the Arctic Circle, I should be fine!
Seriously, the A4 is such a robust little engine and it tends to give me ample warning of any serious issue. Still, the most likely cause of trouble for me would be electrical - I'm still running original points and condenser ignition and some of the wiring is original from 1979! ("if it ain't broke.....")
In terms of safety I carry plenty of spares aboard and know how to replace things, but I suppose if I follow the Colonels advice I could look into one of those nice inductor-type ignition systems....Now you've got me thinking!
