I'm working on an experimental application which is currently using a GE GCU but only about half the functions of that GCU. I have an overhaul manual, schematic, theory of operation and parts list for the unit. I would like to do my own design incorporating the GCU elements I am using along...

I'm employing some current limited contactors (also known as remote breakers) in an experimental application. Is anyone familiar with their wiring and theory of operation? Specifically, I'm looking to understand the operation of the current shunt, the three small diameter posts and how they...

By chance do one or more of you have overhaul facility level knowledge of Starter/Generators? I'm looking for information on things like voltage v. rpm curves for unloaded units without field current and max load sensing/regulation (D load sensing with current fold back). Thanks, Bill

By chance does anyone have a spare Plane Power case driven (Lyco) alternator shear link? Now that the company has been bought, the customer support is in the toilet. Thanks, Bill

I'm navigating the waters of both certified and experimental aircraft and ADSB-Out. By 2020 we are all supposed to have out compliant equipment installed. For certified aircraft, the FAA started by saying you could only do it through STC but relaxed that to allow Field Approval based on an...

I've gotten swallowed up by the ADSB-Out Mandate Monster and did a little therapeutic writing to ease the pain. I'd be curious for feedback from the community. Should I go looking for a "letters to the editor" forum for this? Thanks, Bill Can GA Turn the 2020 ADSB-Out Mandate Around...
