Dale, is it for the Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock, Texas?
If anyone is in that area the Silent Wings Museum is one of the best subject specific
Museums I have ever seen. They focus on the Glider pilots of WWII. They
do discuss the glider infantry but mostly the pilots. Last I knew they had a
WACO and had sent WACO plans to Great Britian so that the GB museum could build/restore
a WACO. They had Horsa glider plans sent by the GB group so that they
could build/restore a Horsa Glider for their Museum.

| Subject: | kubota alternator |
I want to put a small kubota alternator on my Ford like Ken Perkins did. He
said somebody at Brodhead told him about a place where you could buy the
same one kubota sells for $190 for $90. Does anybody know anything about
this?
Thanks

Douwe:
tried to email you back chanel but your spam bloker wont let me in so here
goes:
Keep an eye o ebay under industrial and or garden tools they pop up often
there.
Here's one right now, see ebay Item number: 250357140664
Here's an other one Item number: 360123421950
The are taken off new tractors and forklifts when the purchasing customer
requests additional lighs or accesories thus requiring more than the 15 amps
the units put out.
I got mine brand new for about 50$
Dont forget the correct heat sink regulator that goes with the unit. New
those sell for as much as 180$.

| Subject: | battery for radio/gps/intercom |
Hey,
Disregard my post about the alternator for my Ford, with two mags and the
radiator, I don't think there is room.
So... I was thinking another option is to simply put a motorcyle battery and
one of those small smart chargers permanently installed. So I just plug it
in and charge it up.
My question is this. Being weak in this whole electrical area, can anyone
help me figure out how much battery I'd need to run a simple black and white
gps, a portable radio and an intercom for a reasonable period of time? The
most I EVER anticipate possibly needing it would be to get me to Brodhead
from Cincinatti, so maybe 7 hrs max, possibly 8 with diversions?
Thanks,
Douwe

I've got an 18 Amp-Hour PowerSonic battery in my Pietenpol. I flew all
the way to Brodhead from Raleigh NC last summer running the GPS and the
radio continuously (I only run the transponder when going into a Class C
or Class B airspace because it draws a lot of current). I flew for 14
hours that day and had plenty of battery left when I landed at Brodhead.
I did recharge it the next day with a small portable charger that I plug
into the cigarette lighter.

I have hundreds of lithium ion batteries that I'm not using. They are 3.9v and
1.3 Ahrs each. Figure out the current draw on all your loads, and I'll send
you enough to make a battery pack to run as long as you need for a buck per cell.
It would be considerably lighter and last longer. Each cell has it's own
charging regulator, so primative charging methods are ok.

Douwe,
Unless you are trying to power a starter with the battery, I think
you'll be better off simply using latest-generation batteries in the
devices you list. Heck, they don't even need to be latest generation.
Even old-style NiCads will work for what you want, though some
latest-generation NimH batteries for the Vertex-type handhelds
reputedly last over 20 hrs (!). Depending on which exact devices you
own, most batteries will easily last for 7 hrs of intermittent use.
The 9V alkaline battery in my portable intercom gets changed twice a
year, and that's only precautionary - it's never actually run down.
The only thing I think you need to pay close attention to is the GPS
because on some units the displays can really eat batteries. But even
then, you're not going to fly for more than 4 hrs at a time, so just
keep spare AAs and replace at every other fuel stop. Store brand
alkalines work fine - I bought a sleeve of 24 three years ago and
still haven't used them all. Once they run out, I may look into
rotating packs of rechargeable AAs. The new ones have come way down
in price and are long-lasting.
We have an Odyssey battery on the firewall because we have a starter
on the C-85. We don't have a generator or alternator (we recharge the
battery using a 5W solar panel). At the time we installed the
battery, we also installed wiring that runs back to the rear cockpit
to two cigarette lighters because we thought we'd use the battery to
power things like handheld radios and GPSs. That was two years ago.
We've never plugged in. It's just not necessary.
HTH,
Jeff

Hans, if you're still on the list-
A while back you posted an inspection checklist for your
airplane. All attachments are stripped from posts when
they go to the Matronics archives so I can't seem to find
that checklist. Would you mind sending it to me or can
you upload it to the Matronics attachments/photos please?
Thanks!

Oscar,
Just in case Hans is not watching the list....
If you go to:
http://forum.matronics.com/viewforum.php?f=7
you can access a web-based "discussion board" style of the list. You can
search through the archives of this version of the list, much like the full
Matronics archives, although it doesn't go back nearly as many years as the
normal archives.
The upside of the "discussion board" archives is that they retain the
attachments that were in the original messages. I believe if you go to:
http://forum.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=23586
you may find what you need. The second message in the thread is from Hans,
and he attached a Word document containing an annual checklist he made for
his Piet. Scroll down one more message and you find a similar document Jack
Phillips made for his wood landing gear equipped Piet. There are download
links for both of those docs.
Hopefully that is what you were looking for. Have a good night,
Ryan
