Hi Nigel,
We run the regulator that came with our 914 on the bench, and once
disconnected,
it won't come to life if the battery is down or off line, regardless of the
RPM. This lead to a series of scenarii where we could be left with no power.
Of course it is possible that not all Rotax regulators are the same internally,
or you found a particular mode we failed to explore in our experiments. I would
be interested in more experimental details on your findings. I could publish
them in addition to our measurements.
Best regards,
Gilles
