316 283 8000. They are in Newton Kansas, Dorothy. They also make first class
voltage regulators, alternators and standby alternators.

How long is a piece of string? ;) Actually it depends on the average current
draw and the length of run. Ask Bill at B & C for a recommendation when using
his starters. Better yet buy Bob Nuccolls book "AeroElectric Connection"

Turn off the engine :~0  Sorry, couldn't resist.

1) Seal air leaks (does not apply to Ps)
2) Install Lancair sound proofing kit.
3) Install interior and headliner.
4) Isolate pilot and copilot floor boards from exhaust tunnel.
5) Stop flying through precipitation.
6) Invite nagging mother-in-law for ride in plane. You will be grateful for the
noise ;)
