So this weekend I went to fly my yak-55 and as after startup and Oil and Gas Check, I noticed the Volt gauge close to 10 volts and decreasing... I gave it a few minutes while I let the engine warm up, voltage remain low, I increased engine power up to 65% and saw the Cylinder Temp coming up to the bottom of yellow, tried to use the radio and it crackle a bit until it went absolutely silent, then the only other electric instrument I have, the Engine tach reset it self as it does when u turn the switch off and back on, at that point I did a normal engine shut off. So I think this is an alternator failure, does anybody have the contact info for an AP that can work on Russian engines/electrical system?
