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.

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.

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

From: "bcondrey" 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.

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.
