The B&C generator looks like it's becoming the secondary generator of choice -
mainly because there really isn't anything else to choose from!
It is rated at 8A output but, as has been documented previously on this group,
you probably aren't going to get more that 4-5A out of it due to the lower
speed of the vacuum pump gear on the rotax engines. It's primary role for 914
users is to power the secondary pump and a few low current devices.
