Sure. Day vfr loads is exactly what the SD-8 was designed for.
That was B&C's first product that came on the market about 18
years ago to support Ez builders with some day/vfr electrical
system. There are MANY sport bi-planes flying with an SD-8
as sole source of power.
The SD-8 has evolved to a 10 amp machine . . . all in all,
a robust, light and reliable alternative to more conventional
alternator/battery systems.
