Nothing will be damaged if both alternators are both turned on, although voltage regulation might not be stable. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=471583#471583 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:32:45 AM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Bob Nuckolls misquoted From: "user9253" Bob, have you read the September 2017 Kitplanes Magazine? The author of "Electrical, Part 3" has quoted you out of context to make it seem that you recommend two aircraft batteries. The author also stated that avionics need protection from power surges that occur during engine starting. And he wrote that hall effect sensors contain an induction coil. Do they? -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=471584#471584 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:11:10 AM PST US From: MLE Subject: AeroElectric-List: Aircraft theft prevention I use a throttle lock when travelling. One can start the plane and taxi, but that's it. It is a heavy thing to carry around but hey, I figure the thieves would see that, and just move on. Marty Time: 01:35:43 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Aircraft theft prevention? From: "donjohnston" So with the understanding that most aircraft security is only good enough to keep honest folks from running off with your airplane... But does anyone have any ideas on ways to prevent the engine from starting? Other that the big chain prop locks. Early on, I was considering second, hidden mag switches. But I'm wondering if there's an alternative. Note: I do not have a keyed ignition switch. Just a toggle switch for each mag and a push button starter switch.

Crimping is without a doubt, much faster than solder, even if you have the skillset to do good soldering. Problem is, purchasing expensive tools for basically 'one-off' jobs. If you've got access to a press, or even a good shop vice, you could do this...

I call it my "air show breaker". I was sitting in the ramp one day when some idiot let his kid sit in an airplane by himself. Kid figured out how to hit the starter and make the fan turn...... Could have been ugly. My 701 has dual electronic ignition, no mags but as long as they cant find the CB for the starter I am air show capable....

Favorite flying magazine of mine, though it may be, it is just a popular press magazine, not a technical journal. It is heavily dependent on advertisers and probably has only one or two people on staff including their excellent editor who actually knows anything in detail about technological issues. They are, however, pretty good about printing letters to the Editor with corrections. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=471602#471602 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:30:40 PM PST US From: William Hunter Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: Bob Nuckolls misquoted > , nor a major newspaper with several levels of review and fact checking.
