I don't know about that Wasp but there was a Piet here
flying about for years and years with a Shaky Jake on it.

If y'all are dead-set on hanging stuff off your airplanes, I guess you could look
at the wind gen that Great Plains markets. Here's the link:

Jonathan,
Perhpaps this Piet that you are looking at has a cruise prop on it instead of a
climb prop? The wrong prop on any plane will make it sluggish, and with a passenger
onboard on high density-altitude days it becomes even more of a problem.
Check out what prop is on it before ruling out this plane... A simple prop
change could make all the difference.

Certified is the goal. I anticipate a lot of FAA hoops to jump through. The light
requirement FARs are 23.1389 23.1391 23.1393 23.1395 23.1397 23.1401
I was able to find the requirements for wind generators, but nothing on years or
charging system requirements for lights. All of our planes have engine driven
charging systems, so were good.
Thanks for the info on the article. I'll check it out.

Cool -
If you've gone this far are you going to run it throught some DO-160 stuff and
get it certified, too?
While we're here, it seems to me Jim Weir just wrote up an article in the last
month or two of Kitplanes talking about a low-loss switching supply that might
work for your purposes instead of just the basic current-limiting resistors.
Didn't really read it yet. Chances are, that if you doodle with electronics it's
a pretty simple design.

>Getting within the color spectrum coordinates is doable. The intensity and angles

set of legal lights and keep the whole thing under 1 amp at 12V. I got into this
because our rotax powered Rans has really low source voltage while running
two old school wing tip lights, two whelen strobes, radio, transponder, and GPS.
Dad was going to buy a set of led lights from AS&S to the tune of $1000.
I teach electronics at night and decided to convert his lights to the tune of
$40. Now it has progressed to: I've drawn the circuit boards in cad, can have
them printed for $6 ea, $5 for the LEDs in each light, retired military electronics
engineer to do the soldering, and I meet with the plastic molders next
Friday to iron out the price of the housings. Then a load of paperwork, jump
through a bunch of FAA hoops, and baby they said I have to fly these lights

FAA-acceptable frequencies of light acceptable for nav lights. IIRC the red-orange
spectrum from the old-style GaAs led's didn't cut it. Lots more dopants
and spectrums have hit the market since then, so make sure you've got this one
nailed down before you get too deep into it. Power output and light-intensity
per viewing angle might also be issues.

>>Actually, I'm in the process of manufacturing a line of LED aircraft lights.
I have a mass of most confusing FARs and FAA info on getting lights certified,
at work. I'll try to post the numbers tomorow. The rules for experimentals
are based on the year finished. The cut off for the latest year group starts
in like 1976 or so. Everything after that requires wing tip lights, one red
one green, a tail light, and a belly light. The tail can strobe. The tail and
belly can strobe, or the wing tips can both strobe. And that's if I can remember
it right.

Subject: | advantages of no electrics under Class B |
One thing to keep in mind is that you DON'T need a mode C transponder to
fly
under Class B (like I have here in Cleveland) airspace if you omit an
electrical
system. Champs, Cubs, Luscombes, and Piets w/out electrical can come
and go under
Class B without spending the $$$ on a Mode C transponder. I understand
the guys
like Jack Phillips who need the transponder due to the airports they
frequent or
are 'under' but otherwise but otherwise save the weight, save your
money, and climb
better, take more camping gear, less filling, tastes great.

I agree. Further, the regs say that you can still fly UNDER B or C
without a transponder if your plane wasn't certificated with an ENGINE
DRIVEN electrical generator. So, having a wind-powered generator
doesn't mean you have to have a transponder.
I had my Piet based at Meacham field in Fort Worth for around a year,
and flew it regularly. Meacham is class D, under DFW's class B, and
only about 17 miles from DFW. On more than one occasion, I flew
through someone's class D and they reported that they couldn't see me
on radar. And our government pays billions for Stealth aircraft. :D

Orlando used to get cranky when you they saw you flying under their class B. Granted
all was legal, but they didn't like it. It doesn't hurt to have their help
for separation, if nothing else.
As for the 'engine-driven' part, the regs also say 'doesn't have or never had'.
So if someone (or you) had it, then took it out of your plane, you're still on
the hook.

Subject: | Re: advantages of no electrics under Class B |
I wonder why they could not see you on their radar. Perhaps it is because you are
so low.
I used to skydive near Amarillo, Texas and the radar at Amarillo could pick up
a skydiver in freefall and would track us if we opened high (10,000+ AGL) all
the way to Buffalo Airport. Obvioulsy we did not have a transponder.

Thank you very much for the good words Walt and you bet....it would be
great
to meet you and see your plane someday. I've experienced, along with
many others
on the list, how very cool it is to exchange ideas and posts on this
list but then
to meet others in person at Brodhead or elsewhere just connects all the
dots really
nicely. Doc and Dee Mosher have done us a great service by organizing
some portions
of the Brodhead fly-in and one is where you register and they provide
you with nice
name tag pins so as you circulate you can say 'hey Bill, I'm Mike from
the list'
We got to meet Chrissi and Randi this year which was very enjoyable
along with many
new faces. One F-16 pilot who is starting to build a Piet, another
older gent who
has been flying a Piet for years and had wise tips for others--just
great to meet
the rest of the group either one by one or a bunch all at once.
We got to meet Santiago all the way from ARGENTINA !!!!!!!! Holy moly,
that was
amazing ! Dan Helsper giving rides in his Aeronca Sedan, Gary and Shad
Bell making
their first ever appearance and giving rides including one to
Santiago--all fantastic
to meet and see these folks first hand and doing what they are
passionate about.
I ramble....
Mike C.

Bill=2C
This is possible. The plane isn't ruled out=2C in fact there is already a
handshake on it. I sold some racecar parts and am waiting on a certified c
heck=2C after which time I will be able to plunk down the funds and call it
mine. :) I will get specs on the prop ASAP and post them up. Needless t
o say I'm not to worried about cruise in a bird like this=2C but climb is v
ery important. I have no idea why this hasn't entered my mind.

Mike, we all have our problems and quirks. Some of us drink too much, some of
us are a little too hasty to help young women into our cockpits, but I guess your
problem is that you ramble? It could be worse... you could be a liar...er,
fisherman ;o)
