Alternators can be expected to produce 13-14 volts at anything above idle, though yours may be a pip-squeak (not saying it is less than adequate for your need). But battery voltage below 12.2V

Joseph, If you have a permanent magneto generator, you can't have an alternator field, I dont know if you just made a mis statement or if there is any data I am missing. Car alternators have no

Hi Mike,   You must be running an electronic ignition since magnetos would not require any amps or volts.  I have not yet received a DAR signoff; so, I don't have a voltage reading during flight. 

Yup! Just turned over 600 hrs! Gotta' catch Terry! Bruce

How many amps does the ignition draw in flight? Mine draws 0 when the igniton is on but the engine is not running. You could consider the starting battery is one source of power and the alternator

I found the QAC Q-200 diagram worked. The cable is only bolted to the engine, not the firewall. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Awesome Jerry! It's huge! Imagine building your own jet engine also! It's almost as big as our Quickies! We are flying to Santa Fe next weekend if the weather cooperates (looks like it will)! We

Jim, Sam: I do have a clamp for the throttle cable sleeve, although I did not use the 2 piece phenolic, but more like a steel Adel clamp with rubberized coating. I have been leery of drilling into the

Hi Sanjay, Your doing good taking it slow! I looked at your airport. Nice with so many runways. One thing I do on takeoff is think about where I'm going if the engine quits. For instance with your

Today I crossed another milestone with my Q. KYIP. 6pm. 48 degree F. Nobody around at the T-hangars. I was able to button up the plane, and pull it out of the hangar. Fired up the engine, held down

Thanks Keith, Even at the 800 Hour mark the old QAC T shirt kind of sums it up, Practical Excitement. Terry

You may be interested in a fun little video I did with my wheel Cam on the Q200. Not much of a video tho... Takeoff was from Willisson Florida on a lunch run. Click the link

Like I said, I can't please everyone! ;-)

This is pretty cool. J *Subject: **Remote controlled SR-71 Blackbird* This is a most amazing Remote Controlled [RC] model airplane - click link below to see it fly. Not only did they build its
