skyking1 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Posted December 31, 2016 Has anyone installed a back up generator on their eagle or ovation and are they happy they did it? Plus how much did it cost? Thanks
carusoam Posted December 31, 2016 Report Posted December 31, 2016 There is a thread about back-up alternators around here. Related to the IO550 and others. There is a manufacturer for that smaller device. It is good for powering the essentials bus. back-up electrical sources are becoming all the rage as the vacuum instruments are getting retired more and more every year... Is that what you are referring to? Best regards, -a- 1
M20F-1968 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Posted January 2, 2017 A gear driven alternator is a way to go if you have a place for it on your accessory case. I have an air driven RAT (air driven alternator), deployed by mechanical cable. Used to drive basic flight instruments wired to an emergency bus. It is mounted of the L side instrument bay door.
