Sorta. A switch mode power supply ramps up the frequency several thousand hertz before then converting that to the required voltage. There isn't a need here. You aren't converting a voltage, just regulating it.

In any case, max 22 amps for a few minutes. Well below the 60 amp peak mentioned before 😇

The battery will only be able to draw the maximum 22 amps I think. That's theoretically, as presumably there are other loads on. Radio, lights etc. it will only the draw heavily for a few minutes after starting, since it will be charging up. The current draw between the battery and alternator is governed purely by the difference in voltage between the two. If there's nothing wrong with the battery it will charge up and the batteries voltage increases. If you have an ammeter you should see the amps drop down pretty quickly after a start. Longer if the battery was flat

I would think so, if you mean that were you to install the Carmo, you won't need it anymore. But it can't hurt to leave it, if that's easier for you. My plane only has about 3 hours flying time now, but all good so far. Radio did have some sort of problem, but that was occuring whether the engine was running or not.

I'm very happy with my Carmo, although since it was a new build I wired accordingly. Some things that appealed to me- NOT Italian 😄 Less wiring No need for capacitor (either it runs much more quietly, or there's suppression built in) When the engine isn't running, nor is the regulator. It's a mystery to me why the Ducati one can flatten your battery. Perhaps the Ducati bike ignition switch is wired appropriately. I think it might be compatible with Li Fe batteries too.

I saw a video a few weeks ago on FB of a (coincidentally golf related) golfer hitting a hole in one after skipping the ball off a water hazard. No way that's real, must be ai I thought. After a bit of a look around, I found it was posted on YouTube YEARS ago. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction... ⛳

🤷‍♂️ Whatever gets you through the night. I also don't debate moon landing deniers. Nothing to be gained from it...

Having watched the video interview of the pilot, it's case closed. You may as well be telling me theres no stars in the background of moon lander footage.

Here is the pilot talking through the incident, including reviewing what he did in that video. I'm out and about so can't really listen in. One of you can tell me if he says the video is fake

Interesting that the pilot hasn't said anything about it 🤷‍♂️

Dunno man. Not saying Juan Brown is an expert on ai, but you'd think someone would pipe up about it if it was fake. There would be a lot of knowledgeable people following Juan. Note too that the pilot and his grandfather (who owns the plane) both comment here. Again, if they are real and the video was fake, you'd think one of them would say something. Or if both those profiles are fake, someone would call bs 🤷‍♂️

Mate, they ended up going over sand traps etc. It would be nice if they could make one of the fairways. Next time theyll be sure to plan their route to follow the length of the fairways in case they have an engine failure at low altitude 🤷‍♂️

News story because the first clip makes you wonder if it was ai!

Well done. It almost looks like he deliberately parked it right at the end 😄
