> I own the Sam Bailey KR-1 here in the Los Angeles area. Hi Marc. I think Sam built three. I think one he donated to his local museum there in Kansas. Another one is owned by Ken Cottle and has been much improved, and you've got the third. I've seen your plane when it was based at KSDM. Are you sure you don't have an alternator? I think you do.
To answer your question, my KT-76A transponder with an ACK encoder only draws 1.5 amps as per test with load meter. So it's not a demanding accessory. I've got the older 20 amp-at-3600 RPM Diehl alternator, which means I'm probably putting out only about 12 amps at 3000 cruise. The electronic ignition at low RPM is the biggest daytime electrical user at 5-6 amps.
