Perhaps we should get together and contact them. They are priced reasonably for a custom alternator about $250. I would love to BUY this alternative. We have so much to do I don't want to make my own light bulbs! >Bill Jepson > > If they keep the dimension right so that I can fit one in front of my nosewheel shaft, I'm in for $250. Only twice the cost of a mass produced, off the shelf part, and it'll save me about a month of development work. It would still be nice to have a backup driven off the oil-metering pump shaft. Even 10A one will push the battery life beyond bladder capacity.
