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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:24:53 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Alternator trouble From: Marcus Cooper 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.

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.
