G'day all...
I have a PlanePower FS-14B as my primary alternator, and am running dual P-mags with which I am very happy, with a Rotec TBI delivering the fuel.
But, in the quest for a more efficient plane, am giving serious consideration to running an EFII system. That will require a backup power supply of some sort, and that got me thinking.
Both PlanePower and B&C obviously have alternators that can mount on the vacuum pad, and, with a proper adapter, you can mount them on the hydraulic drive as well. Unfortunately, I don't think I have the accessory gears going to the hydraulic drive, so without removing the accessory case, that probably isn't an option for me.
Does anyone know of a supplier that will let you mount an alternator in a disused magneto drive, or has anyone done something similar themselves?
