I am wanting to contact a mr Jim Butcher regarding his development and/or sales of the second alternator which fits and runs off the rear of the rotax engine. If someone could post his current email address that would be great or better still if he's reading this please contact me.



Many thanks Frank X, classic kit #165

Frank,



Here I am. 



I removed the second alt a few years ago.  The coupling eventually failed.  By being careful about power requirements, I use only about 10 amps in flight.

My Europa is IFR with Garmin 430, Garmin 327, Garmin 340, two GRT Sport EFIS.  I have LED position and strobe lights. No autopilot.  No pitot heat.



If you want, I have drawings and details about mounting alternator to rear of engine but I don't think it is necessary.

No idea about pros and cons. But not cheap.

I have been using a second alternator on the accessory takeoff for more 

than 12 years with out a problem. The alternator is from a Geo Metro 

3 cyl. Back in the day, Flightcrafters had someone local in the Tampa 

area who milled the face plate to mate to the back of the gear box takeoff.

Perhaps Bud retains the source's contact info.



I found the 2nd alt to be very useful for piece of 

Mind since I have an entirely glass panel and did

Night ops frequently.

Rampil, what is the output (amps) of your second alternator?
