Hey guys,
Recently I was afflicted by a shortage of electrons and a group of highly skilled fellow aviators came to my rescue.
It seems that the alternator in the -6 went Tango Uniform. The unit is 108 hours old (as is the plane) and if you ask me, should have been serviceable for a much longer period of time.
Upon closer inspection I noticed this:
Ummmm, Soooo what seems to have burned out here?
Is there a fuse of some type that normally resides here?
Is this unit repairable?
Was it due to insufficient cooling?
We have a blast tube on the alternator. Should it be repositioned or made bigger?
What is your take on it?
