Bob-
All this recent talk about internal and external regulated alternators has reminded me that once upon a time (several years ago at an Aeroelectric Seminar in Prescott, AZ) you said that you were fairly close to coming up with a way to gracefully integrate an internally regulated alternator into a Z-13/8, or other AEC, system. The solution you described at that time would allow total control of the alternator by the pilot and would allow use of a crowbar OV protection. I've lost track of where this eventually wound up and was wondering anything ever came of this effort. Or did it simply become apparrent that just using the ER alternator is the way to go?
I have an IR alternator and am trying to decide whether to just use it, replace it with an off the shelf ER alternator or have the local alternator modify it to ER. The Plane Power alternator would be an option as it seems like a well thought out piece of equipment but kind of lot of money for an alternator.
I try to keep up with the rest of the class so I don't have to ask questions that have already been discussed but I haven't been able to find the answer to this question in the archives and I don't remember reading anything about this specific question.
I appreciate any information about this and I will always be grateful for everything I have learned in your school Bob. Thanks for everything.
