Nuckolls, III" Subject: AeroElectric-List: The AeroVoltz battery fire . . . A few days ago we were apprised of a battery fire involving an AeroVoltz product. A few minutes ago I ran across this posting by the owner of the incident aircraft: http://tinyurl.com/qa8tdoo . . . I'm a little . . . no . . . REALLY astounded that for this day in the age of owner built and maintained aircraft, there are machines flying around with no active notification/response for abnormal bus voltages. I'd better shut up for now and sort my thoughts into a more rational response to a clear problem of disseminating what amounts to boat loads of free information and education on the art and science of building and operating airplanes . . .

We have discussed the products that do exactly this in milliseconds with no input from the pilot. If he thinks he is going to watch his voltage, detect it, and shut it down manually, I think he is going to be disappointed (again!). - Paul On 1/18/2015 4:03 PM, jan wrote: > > You can lead a horse to water ... but not make it drink .. ;-) ... > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com > [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Robert L. > Nuckolls, III > Sent: 18 January 2015 20:23 > To: aeroelectric-list@matronics.com > Subject: AeroElectric-List: The AeroVoltz battery fire . . . > > > > A few days ago we were apprised of a battery fire involving > an AeroVoltz product.
