The following is from Jack Lockamy (RV-7A):
----------------------------------
Hey Dan,
I tried posting a HELP message on the RV-List but the message was rejected.
I think it is because of the hotel internet connection not being recognized
by the list.
Would you please post the following message for me?: (subject was HELP in
Las Cruces)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I flew into Las Cruces, NM from Camarillo, CA today on a business trip with
my RV-7A and experienced an electrical system failure 30 minutes prior to
reaching the field. My internally-regulated Van's 60 AMP alternator went to
"0" Amps and I Immediately started shedding electrical loads.
Then, while in the pattern here at Las Cruces turning from downwind to
final, the alternator started showing a charge again!
I suspect a loose connection somewhere (was really bumpy today at 9500' MSL
from 200 miles east of LRU to the field...) but I need an OHM meter and an
extra pair of eyes would be nice to do some trouble-shooting before I
attempt my trip home this Friday.
If anyone in the Las Cruces area has an OHM meter I could borrow I would be
most appreciative. The meter is something I will definitely add to my
travel/emergency bag before the next trip!
Thanks in advance,
Jack Lockamy

Jack,
This same scenario happened to me in my 9A a few years ago, the culprit was
the 60 amp inline fuse for the alternator I bought from the aeroelectric
connection guys, turned out it was bad internally and made intermittent
contact so I replaced it with a regular aviation quality breaker. If you
have a similar type fuse in your alternator B lead I would look there first.
