Was wondering if anyone good shed some light on this. I have spoken to a few folks today (thanks TJ) but it was too late to get into the airplane to check what was mentioned. I am looking for anyone who has had this or a similar problem or may know what happened.
I have a Yak-50 so keep that in mind.
I am flying along today and go to change the destination in my GPS. As soon as I do, the radio/GPS goes dead. It kind of put out a static sound before it went though. Then it comes back on...then back off. So I start load shedding in case I had just the battery left. Anyway, it finally goes dead and then I start losing instruments. Oil temp guage, gear lights and fuel indication. They dim a little bit then they are gone. They come back on briefly then they are gone again. So, I just shut everything down and landed without incident.
On the ground, I have a mechanic check it out. What we have is a good battery but ZERO power getting to the airplane. No instruments (except for the GEN light??), no shower of sparks, nothing. The things is dead!
So, it sits in the hangar until another mechanic (with a boner for things electric) takes a look. I would like to give him something to look at and was hoping someone here could add some insight.
By the way, it was a gorgeous day and I was going to refuel and fly....so I was pretty pissed!
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a schematic for the 50 that you could post? The slow fade sounds a little strange. That doesn't sound like a breaker or a short. A schematic would really help especially given the clue of the working "gen" light.

I dont. Unfortunately, the Yak-50 suffers from lack of good manuals. Most of us have to depend on the -52 manuals or from trial and error.
