REFLECTOR:Missing Cylinder

[John Dibble]

Thanks to all for the suggestions.  I swapped the #4 and 6 EI plugs and it ran
smoothly, but that doesn't mean much as it ran fine for a test flight before #4 began
skipping.  Now #6 EGT is running (at idle) 200F cooler than the rest so I think I have
a weak plug.
