Has anyone found an acceptable substatute, rectafier regulator, for
the 912-914 rotax? Better? cheaper? Doc

There was a product offered some years ago that was popular with
the ultra-light crowd but I don't recall the name off hand. Anyone
else remember?
A modern, processor controlled regulator/rectifier for PM alternators is
on my list of things to do when the drive stand is up and runnning.

The Corvair guys are using the John Deere dynamo and regulator

Hmmm . . . interesting pulley ratios . . . wonder how much
snort they get out of this thing a ramp idle and taxi speeds.
Of course, the smaller pulley ratio reduces stress on the
regulator at cruise. I suspect there's an opportunity for some
system performance optimization here.

Yes, you'll note the dynamo has a new pulley welded onto
it. Different builders are trying different pulley sizes to make the
dynamo generate sufficient power at idle while taxiing, or to keep
the beast under control in cruise flight. Unfortunately the downside
of using a generator instead of an alternator I guess. Total price
for dynamo and regulator is under 300 bucks, and results in very
light weight. The usual caveats apply: tell them you need it for
your TRACTOR, and don't use the "a" word.
Part numbers and other stuff:

Could it have been the Key West regulator?
Lockwood, Leading Edge, and others offer them.
You see them a lot on ultralights with 447/503/582's...

Hmmm . . . those engines have those alternators
that want to grow up and be a 'real' alternators one
day.
I suspect the John Deere is the more robust of the
PM regulators. As soon as I can spin the hardware,
I'll find out how beefy it really is.

As far as inexpensive regulators for a PM alternator go, Harley Davidson has used a PM alternator for years and the regulators are available in the after market from Accel, among others. Haven't tried one except in the original application, but they are usually under $50.
