My other hobby, besides flying is Falconry. I raised a young falcon this
year and allowed it to be loose outside during the day. They have an
genetic disposition to disperse when they are old enough. I misjudged , and
he "flew the coop". I had a telemetry transmitter on him thinking that He
wouldn't go all that far, and I could find him in the Firestar when he did
wander a bit. These two video are of that search. The list for the most
part is dead at this moment, so I don't feel all that bad about allowing
you to see the country while I did those searches.
My last flight had a bit of unease with it in that apparently either my
battery, or my charging system failed. I have not as of yet determined
which it is. On my return from my last flight, I got a warning light on the
EIS that there was low voltage. The cut off was 10 volts, and I was showing
9.4 and going lower. I determined that low voltage was my only problem, and
every thing else was working, so I shut off the master switch. This also
cuts off the fuel pump, and the last time I didn't have a fuel pump the
egt's went pretty high and I had to nurse it home. I pulled the choke on
half way, and the engine still sounded good. I waited for a while and then
turned the master back on and the EGT's were fine, so I cut it off again,
making it home following roads just in case.
I have ordered another battery, but have since charged the battery to an
apparent full charge. I will put it under load tomorrow to try to determine
if the battery is failing or the charging system is at fault.
By the way I did not find the lost falcon.
