That is not 100% correct. All of the Terra/Trimble line of avionics except the GPS products are now supported by TSTC Waco, in Waco, TX. I recently have had occasion to do business with them and can heartily recommend them, both for cost and quality of service. Troy Ellison is an excellent person to work with, and will ensure that your radios are handled quickly, correctly, and efficiently.

Glad to hear they have found good home. I had heard that Southeast Avionics picked up the Terra line at the same time that Free Flight was formed to handle the GPS line. Nice to hear they have found a loving home. Did TSTC also get the radar altimeter or does FreeFlight have that? As I said before, we owners of the Trimble line of GPS units are very fortunate to have such good service available from FreeFlight. Still getting regular 28 day updates to the database from Jeppesen and FreeFlight is supplying the packing software to Jeppesen for the database. Very Happy Camper!

It appears to me that during an alternator failure you would want to deenergize both the Main battery contactor and the Engine battery contactor, to conserve battery power. In doing this there is no power available from the engine battery to the endurance bus. The endurance bus alternate feed is the only power feed path to this bus, with the contactors deenergized. My question is, am I missing something, was this overlooked in the design phase, or is there a specific reason for this design philosophy? Thanks, Roger ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:51:54 PM PST US From: "Allen Fulmer" Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: Z-19RB clarification Roger, I am using Z-19RB in my Subaru H6 powered RV7. My understanding as to why the endurance bus alternate feed is from the Main Battery only is that the engine bus and its battery are reserved for the running of the engine alone just as long as possible. I guess if you lose the main battery and thus the endurance bus then you can still fly the airplane to a safe landing site as long as the engine is running. Whereas, if you lose the engine battery/bus the endurance bus is not going to do you any good as you glide to a landing. I am sure Bob will chime in with a more elegant explanation.
