alternators
The RV-10 firewall forward kit *use* to come with the Van's (Nippondenso) 60A alternator.
I can't remember who, but someone told me at OSH that they have replaced
the Nippondenso 60A (ES ALTERNATOR 60A KIT) with the Plane Power 60 (ES
ALTERNATOR DELUXE) in the Firewall Forward kits. I elected to upgrade to the
PP unit for the additional $100. Can anyone receiving the Firewall Forward Kit
recently confirm this?

alterna / Homecoming
All I can say is that most people at our airport have had such bad experien
ces with the standard Van's alternator that they all use B&C now. =0AI hav
en't heard of the Plane Power system though. May work just fine. =0A =0AI
used B&C right from the start. My starter is stock but if it every goes ou
t I will replace with B&C. They really do a great job and are easy to work
with. =0A =0AWe won't be coming to the homecoming either this weekend. W
e tried to fit it in and would love to see the Spruce Goose just down the r
oad. This weekend I will be rotating tires, replacing brake pads and repla
cing my wing strobes (they both went out and I cannot figure it out). Hope
you all have a great time. =0A =0AScott Schmidt=0Ascottmschmidt@yahoo.com

I have the B&C 60A alternator and LR-3 regulator
in my RV-6A. Total reliability for 8 years and
860 flight hours so far. My RV-10 will have the same
equipment.
