You should have no problems with juice, then!  We will end up with the
40A alternator, also.  The cowling has to be modified a bit to make it
fit, I believe, but with strobes, lights, etc, the stock alternator
and likely even the additon of one of the B&C alternators won't be
enough.  I've also waffled back and forth on the electric gyro vs.
vacuum gyro issue, so with vacuum gyros, the belt drive alternator is
mandatory.

have problems with pitot static icing. The heated probe is only used
for an emergency encounter with icing conditions. I plan to use this
airplane to maintain IFR proficiency and for those mild IFR
situations. For 99% of the time, the pitot heat will be off.
