The strobe unit you have, should have a plate on it with the info on how many Amperes it draws. Your radio should have the same thing. Nav lights, not LED, are usually less than 1 Amp. Simply add up all the amps marked on your equipment or in the manuals and make sure the total is no more than 80% of the output of the 582 lighting coil. (16 * .8 = 12.8A) If you wire in a load meter which reads the amps being used by the system then you wi8ll be safe to go to the full 16 Amps.

I fear that my lighting coil will not put out enough power to handle all those electrics. I remember seeing a set up for an auxillary alternator belt drive off of the prop hub., maybe from CPS, I don't know. I remember that it seemed to cost 3 X what I thought it should. Anyone out there have experience with one or have designed one yourself. do not archive Pat Reilly Mod 3 582 Rebuild Rockford,IL http://www.matronics.com/contribution http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Kitfox-List http://forums.matronics.com ww.matronics.com/contribution >http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Kitfox-List ronics.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:28:21 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Oil Tank From: "AKFLYERBOB" That looks like the tank I have on my mod one. and I bought it from John.

I am in the market for a prop for 582 ( I have hub and spinner for 3 blade GSC)-and gear for model II. Right now I have been told the gear on later model IVs will not work b ecause of the brakes. Any wisdom/experience would be most appreciated.
