Well, so much for that.... Oh well.
Anyone know of any other acceptable substitutes on the ducati (that last more than
100-200 hours)?
I thought about just a basic motorcycle regulator, but those are generally just
as expensive and burn up at about the same rates....

Lucien,
I've owned three 912 powered airplanes and never had a Ducati regulator fail. But
I never went in for a lot of high electrical load devices either. I never had
nor wanted a glass cockpit but two of my airplanes had transponders, strobe
lights. One of them had transponder, strobes and landing lights. That one had
over 700 hours on original regulator when we sold the airplane.

Well I'm on the 3rd one in this plane already and am, er, eagerly awaiting it to
burn out so I can go out and buy another one ;).
What seems to be the case is the failure rate really gets high when it gets a load
put on it. The last one lasted a iittle under 100 hours, but I wasn't keeping
the battery relentlessly topped off at all times with a battery charger. Also,
I had my old incandescent nav lights at the time, those plus the strobe would
always cause it to run behind a bit.
So it was always having to charge the battery a little bit during the day when
the lights were off or having an extra load on it in the evenings.
The new one is around 50 hours so far and is still working, but again because I
do all this extra stuff to keep it from having to actually have a load on it.
If it does have to charge the battery or power lights, etc., it's hot to the touch
when I get back to the hangar (until it burns out that is)......

For what it's worth
Lockwood mentioned if you insiston asking internal generator to
produce more than 12 amps continuous, besides needing to replace
regulators, it burns up windings in generator.
I installed a B+C
SD20S alternator onaccessary drive with a LR3C regulator:

Ain't cheap but a real jewel. There are some that mount aux alternator
off back of motor on Europas that provide a faster spin. If your
plane/prop will allow you could go with front belt driven ND.

BTW I went with a switch from Flaming River mounted in
headrest instead of using precious amps to drive a battery
relay/solenoid.

Its a 912ULS. My current draw is about 10A max and when that occurs it's intermittant
(i.e. I start turning things off and let the battery charge at that point).
The regulator is just too light-duty to handle continuous operation at its rated
power dissipation. Just needs heftier semiconductors in it and a bigger heat
sink..... either that or move the decimal place on the price over to the left
one spot to make the cost correspond to its quality ;)

Dick, just curious if you were able to find the formed hose. I'm in the same predicament.
