Alternator Wiring

Does anyone know of or have access to a wiring diagram for replacing the generator with an alternator in the Brantly? I'm asking for another owner whose A&P is having trouble locating one to get it wired properly.

Re: Maintenance Needs

Overhauls/inspections of formsprag clutches for one. 2500 hour item with 600 hour inspections, but nobody can do them. So they become a 600 hour item.

Busy Month Flying

I just finished a pretty busy month. In August I had 66.3 hours flying. That included 16 training lessons and around 229 rides/tours to roughly 379 people. And this is just flying evenings and weekends, as I still have a full-time day job. That's more than I like for 1 month, but after the terrible ...

Re: M/R Blade AD

I've heard from two different guys who have had theirs done, not in my area. Both paid $500-$600 total for all 3 blades to be done. I had a similar quote. It didn't take very long to do the blades or documentation, and they both used a certified operator.
