I will be flying the RV10 to L06 in March and tying outside. I understand
that I must bring my own tie downs but what is the predominate direction of
the heavy wind. I have always tied into the wind; any reason to tie some
other direction? I have heavy duty control locks.

I was flying home today when the alternator started to give up the ghost. It was
off most of the time and then about every 25 seconds would power up for a couple
seconds and then shut off again. Finally there was nothing. I have an
engine from Aerosport Power and (I think) the Lamar 40 amp alternator. Just curious
if these symptoms are of anything other than the need to get a new alternator.
Since the regulator is internal I'm guessing there's no fixing just that.
Any ideas before I just swap it out would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcus

The alternator should last the life of the engine; my Plane Power shorted at
about 350 hours and they warranted for no charge exchange.

Although my eninge has 2 B&C alternators, I would strongly recommend anythi
ng that Plane Power/SkyTech have to sell.- After moving from Calif to Tex
as, and now having neighbors who either own the company, or work there, you
only then really know the individuals behind the company.- Great people,
great service, great products.=0ADon McDonald=0A =0A=0A___________________

I agree. As Don is very well aware, they came through for me and did
everything possible to get me the replacement starter, even before I
mentioned I knew Don. They stood by the product and covered it under
warranty.
On a separate note. I just had an issue with my fuel pump. Don at
Airflow called me on a weekend on New Year=99s to talk through my
issue. It was a non issue to send it back and he would either
=9Cfix or replace it=9D. Turns out I had a loose wire and
was able to get it working again without needing to ship back but the
customer service at Airflow, as it was with Sky-tec was first rate.

Prevailing winds in the winter come from the north, and prevailing winds in the
summer come from the south.
