Paul, I have had a few inflight starts on my engine, all initiated by me. With wind blowing through the prop at ~115+ knots turning an engine in filght is not a problem for most batteries. If a battery is strong enough to crank and start your engine on the ground, it will be able to handle an airborne restart. Mark may have had another reason for having second battery. From memory, that battery was well aft in his plane (weight and balance?) but I may be mistaken on this point. iMs, Zip -----Original Message----- From: "Ppaulvsk via KRnet" <krnet@list.krnet.org> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2018 2:19pm To: "KRnet" <krnet@list.krnet.org> Cc: "Ppaulvsk" <ppaul...@gmail.com> Subject: KR> Backup battery
Mark L., I noticed on your wiring schematic on your website you have a 7 Ahr backup battery. Would you still recommend that size? Is it large enough to turn the engine over while airborne?I'm at a point now to where I can pretty much put everything on and do a weight-n-balance and find out if I need to move my corvair engine forward to pinpoint my cg.
