I use an optical prop tach to compare prop speed to engine speed. Once
the clutch is locked it is tight and I've seen no evidence of slippage
in routine use, and that includes a dive during testing to 135mph (max
design speed for a long wing MK IV Avid). In a poweroff dive the prop
speed could get high but the engine speed is low. If the prop is
properly balanced this should be no problem. I haven't seen a limit for
prop rpm, just engine rpm.

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Marco Menezes <msm_9949@yahoo.com>
I'd like to install a VDO ammeter on my panel but am somewhat confused about wiring
(Rotax 582 UL). Instrument wiring diagram show one positive lead to + on
alternator, other to + on starter solenoid. Questions: 1) for the "alternator"
+ lead. do I bypass the rectifier go directly to engine? Presubambly this would
be to one of 2 "lighting coil" wires (yellow or yellow/black). Which one? 2)
for the starter solenoid + lead, do I bypass the rectifier and wire directly
to the solenoid?
Thanks in advance for assistance.

Marco,
Just my opinion but I would forget the amp meter and put in a good
accurate volt meter. It tells you more about what's happening with the electrical
system.

If you are gonig to put something in that hole I would suggest a volt/amp
meter with a built in over voltage and discharge warning light. I think mine
was a JPI or E.I. Instruction come with.
