| Subject: | Re: External start battery |
My L-29 came with a Gill GE-50 battery installed in the nose compartment on the
right side where I think that the IFF equipment had been installed.? It is a
large, heavy battery that takes up all of this compartment.? I have always started
off this internal battery and usually the start temperature never exceeds
600 degrees.? When the aircraft sits for an extended period of time, I connect
this battery to a 24 volt BatteryMINDer.? The battery is about 4 years and is
still in very good condition.? I hope that this helps.

Hi All
Was having a chat with my AMO re starting the L29 and the issue around on board
start vs external power came up.? What are you guys all using?? I am thinking
of using 2 x 24V plus 1 x 6V battery making up a 30V system for starting only.?
Is this too high?

Thanks all.
Yes noted, and I have started my jet once (!) at sea level and experienced a
very cool start with no juggling of fuel flow.
What has become apparent to me is that everyone on the list is operating at
low altitudes. So a heads up is in order.
Be careful when starting at high elevation / high density altitude. The
engine will over temp. I manually have to retard the fuel flow lever to
keep the temps in limits. Seen the same with all 3 L29 I have flown up here
in Johannesburg.
Hence the search for a ground start solution with higher voltage.

Jorgen,
Even at see level on hot days here in CA I always had to "feather the
fuel" on start to keep the temps low. I do the same thing in the T-33. It
just goes with the old jets.

You are correct. The highest density altitude that I ever started my L-29 was about
4500 feet.? I had no problem at that DA, but I can see where the higher DAs
may be a problem.
I would be careful about increasing the voltage above 28 volts.? The max amperage
draw during a start should be no more than 600 amps.? This is a considerable
draw and I think that you should ensure that you have very heavy cables and
that they are no longer than is necessary.? This will keep the voltage drop from
the external source to the starter to a minimum.? Also, when I start, I turn
off the inverters as they draw a considerable amount of current as they spool

| Subject: | External start battery |
I believe it's 200 amps for a few seconds then 400 amps for the rest of the
start. The 2 Odyssey batteries or the one big Gill/Concord battery is
perfect.
Many guys go to the local autoparts store and buy 2 12 volt car batteries
for $50 each and they last for years.

Greg:
I live in St. Louis, Missouri and my hangar and airplane are based at the
Saint Louis Downtown Airport (KCPS). This is the old Parks College airport.
Jorgen:
You are correct. The highest density altitude that I ever started my L-29
was about 4500 feet. I had no problem at that DA, but I can see where the
higher DAs may be a problem.
I would be careful about increasing the voltage above 28 volts. The max
amperage draw during a start should be no more than 600 amps. This is a
considerable draw and I think that you should ensure that you have very
heavy cables and that they are no longer than is necessary. This will keep
the voltage drop from the external source to the starter to a minimum.
Also, when I start, I turn off the inverters as they draw a considerable
amount of current as they spool up. I'm sure that you are aware of this,
but it bears reiterating.

Gene,
Where do you base your L-29?

My L-29 came with a Gill GE-50 battery installed in the nose compartment on
the right side where I think that the IFF equipment had been installed. It
is a large, heavy battery that takes up all of this compartment. I have
always started off this internal battery and usually the start temperature
never exceeds 600 degrees. When the aircraft sits for an extended period of
time, I connect this battery to a 24 volt BatteryMINDer. The battery is
about 4 years and is still in very good condition. I hope that this helps.

Greg,
I won't be able to make. I have a trip scheduled with my daugther and her
6th grade class to go to Washington DC for that week.
Trust me, I would rather go to the jet blast......
John....

Hi All
Was having a chat with my AMO re starting the L29 and the issue around on
board start vs external power came up. What are you guys all using? I am
thinking of using 2 x 24V plus 1 x 6V battery making up a 30V system for
starting only. Is this too high?
