I am not sure that a second list is the right answer. When I see things I am not interested in, I simply hit the delete button. Some days I am interested in Ford Model A engine info. Other days I delete as I don't have time. Heck, some days I delete my own comments! I don't have a corvair engine, but I like to follow their discussions as I like the idea of the corvair engine and might put one on a plane someday. The Bonanza crew has two lists. One is a bunch of rich boys who run at every problem with their checkbook. the list I follow is a bunch of CSOBs, (cheap son of a beech) who discuss affordable options and complain about the FAA. I am on the Contenental engine list. It has virtually Zero participation. Not sure I want to dilute the conversation on this list. Sometimes I find pearls of wisdom in the generic conversation.

Hey all, I'd sure appreciate some suggestions on this one. I have a simple electric system on my plane. It was overcharging from the start, but I didn't know that 18volts was too much so was blissfully unaware until my battery got fried. After lots of testing, it seems the generator field was grounded so we replaced it with a good one. Same problem. We then replaced the electronic generator controller with an old school points type regulator which on the ground seemed to work perfectly. just went flying and it was back to charging at 18 volts!! I've disconnected the generator for months and just kept the batt charged and the system works fine. this generator seems to be good. it's such a simple system, and it's all been replaced. what am I missing here???????

You are correct Oscar, C-GGLU belongs to Jill who acquired it this past past winter after realizing my flying days are over due to a serious medical condition.
