    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...
  8. danny_galaga
    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.
  9. danny_galaga
    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
  10. danny_galaga
    Interesting that the pilot hasn't said anything about it 🤷‍♂️
  11. danny_galaga
    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 🤷‍♂️
  13. danny_galaga
    News story because the first clip makes you wonder if it was ai!
  14. danny_galaga
    Well done. It almost looks like he deliberately parked it right at the end 😄
  15. danny_galaga
    He may not have to worry about that anymore.

    At 13,000 ft I'm wondering if there's a mandated amount of time you are allowed to fly in a regular aircraft, without oxygen. Maybe some hypoxia setting in? I would imagine you'd normally train to look for skiers etc in the path of your anticipated take off path. And that this guy just didn't see anything until the very last second.
  17. danny_galaga
    What are we talking about...
  18. danny_galaga
    Yes, saw this recently. What may be the biggest game changer may be the sodium ion battery production. These don't burn, and don't need excessive amounts of controversial minerals.

    Dafuq 😯 Looks like someone is going to be an ex pilot. Much better than there being ex people though
  20. danny_galaga
    It could be worse. They might instead remove all mention of any of them, and go on to redact any mention of Enola Gay, because gay is 'woke' 🙄
  21. danny_galaga
    Agreed. Boonah has plenty of fields around it, but results may vary with emergency landings 😄 As long as you are within gliding distance you can easily keep out of any traffics way. After a few basic tests, which we have done it would be very safe to fly say five to ten miles away. All academic at the moment, all these public holidays have their downside as I can't get my guy to fly for a while.
  22. danny_galaga
    The aircraft has to be test flown around the airfield it's based at. Im mostly bummed about the fact I probably won't get to test fly my own aircraft on my own and I'll have to wait for the remaining 23 hours.
  23. danny_galaga
  24. danny_galaga
    This in fact is my next step if all else fails. I haven't asked yet but there's a guy who lives nearby who might be able to help. He's built a few aircraft and finished incomplete projects so would be easy to get him on the test schedule.
  25. danny_galaga
    I forgot to mention that we applied with both our names. But Ra Aus knocked me back due to my lack of recent flying hours. Which I guess is fair enough .Otherwise I wouldn't even consider selling it until I finished off the test flying.
