Try a Chevy sprint or Geo alt for the 3 cycl. engine. it is 50 amp and just about as small as the get on a car. I use a Kabouta dynamo, with a Harly Davidson reg. on a volkspower case and driven by a modified gland nut/pully. I use a Rotax starter now, but when it fries I'll go with a subarue starter and adapt. plate. My batt. is a Dry cell for jet skis . I have a strobe, Radio, DG,fuel ,hobbs ,fuel boost pump and primary ignition driven off this set up and I still have about 6 amps to spare. Do the math on your amp load ,you may not need all that power. I have used this set up on two aircraft with no problems. Tim KR2 N7038V

I am looking for information about supplementing and or replacing the Diehl alternator due to the electrical requirements that I have for full electrics, especially for night flying. I do not believe the 20 amp output is going to keep up and want to go with an automotive type alternator that can deliver more along the lines of 45 - 60 amp output. Any suggestions by any who are using them, actual applications. I have the common Type I VW with Diehl case, and pretty stock cowling. > > Colin & Bev Rainey > KR2(td) N96TA > Sanford, FL > crain...@cfl.rr.com > http://kr-builder.org/Colin/index.html > _______________________________________ > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html > > > > _______________________________________ > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
