Just an update on the alternator field issue. I replaced the 5 amp breaker but that didn't fix it. My buddy that has a PP voltage regulator had the 28 volt version and not the 14 volt. I am going to

The reason you got two passes is because you went by too fast to see on the first one.

Thanks Jim, I was surprised and honored for the same reasons you just stated. Don’t know if or how many of you saw it fly in Thursday’s airshow. After all the brain pounding & butterflies the

OUTSTANDING kEITH. Especially in view of the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth it took you to get there! Also proud that the Osh judges could recognize the workmanship of an older homebuilt. I

Finally got access again. That is a LOT of work. All seems just "make it happen" until about half way through.. a bit like a few Experimental aircraft projects! 50%ers :-) I can relate to the

Probably! I'll wake you up in Enid!! Wire brush to follow!!!!!

Thanks! I plan on doing this tomorrow. I found a buddy that has a new PP voltage regulator and some 5 amp breakers. I’ll replace the breaker and if that doesn’t stop it from popping then I’ll

The Quickie received recognition for “Outstanding Workmanship Plans built” When I registered it upon arriving I almost declined judging. I knew thirty years of troubleshooting getting engine

A Major Award!

I often take it on the master solenoid or on the panel cig lighter. If those are inconvenient try the battery + post as long as the master switch is on Sonia and Rick Hole Email: r.hole@...

You may have! This website says outstanding workmanship

Did I black out suddenly??? I'm reading a lot of Keith congrats but exactly WHAT award did he win? j Jay

Over the years I have seen Two 5 amp breakers fail and lead me down paths of no return. Just install a factory new breaker and see if that fixes it. It did for me and Tom Moore. Bob Malechek.

This sounds easy to test.....where on bus should I test voltage from? I am not familiar with working with the bus. Do I just place the probe anywhere on a good contact along bus? Corbin Ge!ser

Okay, great.....I can ignore that distraction of why it wasn't shutting everything off. Thanks! Corbin Ge!ser

With breaker removed, Measure the resistance across the two terminals. Breaker in= 0 ohms. Breaker pulled= infinite ohms. Ideally you would rig a rest with a DC power source, breaker, and load

The easiest test for a functioning alternator is to read the voltage on the 12V bus. The battery without alternator will be 12.6 volts or less. A functioning alternator will show more than 12.6

Hi QLIST Here are a few links of photos of our RAFE group and the Q taken during AirVenture https://www.flickr.com/photos/eaaairventureoshkosh/albums/72157709765505521/

50 amp breaker is handling the current out from the alternator. It is only active when the alternator is spinning otherwise current from the alternator is zero. Battery charge plus electric items is

Update: I’ve located a 50amp breaker labeled MAIN. I turned on Master, electronics come on, and then I pulled the 50amp breaker. Nothing turned off. I’ve removed the breaker and would like to
