Hi
I am looking at the Van's FWF kit and am wondering about the supplied alternator.
Does anyone know the make / model of the alternator.
My plan is to use an alternator that is easily replaced so that a failure doesn't
mean a long delay on the ground.
Cheers

The alternator supplied with the FWF kit in 2010 was a Plane Power 60 amp unit
with an internal regulator.
I don't know if that has changed or not since then.

Hmm, when I ordered in early 2010 it was still shown as Nippondenso, so I
deleted and bought Plane Power on my own.

I'd recommend using a GM or Ford alternator. About $80 new at any auto
parts store and available any where on the spurge of the moment. You
will have to put on a larger alternator pulley (3 in or so) in order to
not over speed the alternator (check the diameter of the car engine
drive pulley, RPM at cruise-about 2000 at 70 mph, the diameter of the
Lycoming V-belt pulley, etc. and match things up). Much cheaper than an
aircraft alternator and more reliable.

Thanks for all your help. It definitely a sensor problem after some further checking.
Working on a fix. Thanks for getting my head straight.

There isn't a "sign up" for the dinner, we're just trying to get a head count to
make sure we've got a good estimate for food.
The social/dinner was initially posted a while back on VAF and here. I'll bump
the original post so everybody will see it. We're already on-site and the event
will be I very close to where we've been in prior years; in Camp Scholler
between 51st & 52nd streets, immediately south of Lindbergh.

Just to have all info in the same thread...
Location is between 51st & 52nd streets, just south of Lindbergh in Camp Scholler.
Start time still 5:30. As in years past, RV-10 builders/flyers/dreamers
are welcome to use the common area we've set up for socializing before during
the week of the show. We're on site now and have tables and shade ready to go.
A few have asked about cost - A few generous vendors contribute to help facilitate
our gathering and there will be a free will donation box available. There
isn't a "recommended" amount and we don't keep score, just whatever you feel
like contributing. This is absolutely a zero profit venture, any funds remaining
after dinner expenses are covered are rolled over into the next year as "seed
funds".
We started putting this together in the very early RV-10 years as a way for us
early builders to meet and exchange ideas. We've kept it going because there
is a constant stream of new builders that can benefit. It's also RV-10 related
chatter every night, a chance to reconnect with people and a chance to meet
new builders.
