>The Rotax regulator needs a definite voltage to continue providing
power. Disconnect it, or have it fail, or run your battery down, and
you're left with very few option to keep your engine running.<
Not true. If you disconnect the battery with the engine running the
generator continues to supply the electrical system until the revs drop
to idle. Even then, restoring the revs above idle results in the
generator picking up the load.

True Nigel but I find I need to get the rpm back over about 2500 to get the
voltage reg to cut in again once it has dropped out at low rpm (which it does
not always do.)
Constant problems of this nature have caused some anxieties, but there is no
fear that it will result in an engine failure.
