Power Worrier
I have flown my 912S powered Europa and tested the power drain. (I built it
with voltage and amperage reading on both the alternator and the battery.)
With every thing turned on (3 Airoflash strobes and incandescent bulbs, 2
fifty watt landing lights, radio, transponder, flight instrument) I had a
positive charge to the battery at cruse. Only when the engine RPM was
dropped down to 3750 did the battery start to show a discharge.
I think that is acceptable.
