The article is in Contact Magazine #46, pg. 3.  I have had no problems with
using this configuration.  When I turn off the alternator switch, it dies
immediately.  This also allows me to test my low-voltage alarm on the EIS.
I set it at 12.5 volts, and the light comes on just a minute or two after I
turn off the alternator.

125 hours now and it comes out of the paint shop tomorrow.  It really
doesn't look like the same RV I took in!!  If it didn't have a rotary
engine, I might think he swapped it out for a much nicer airframe!
Performace wise, it is doing the job.  I can fly formation with the Lycs,
and that is good.  I still plan to improve the breathing apparatus on the
13B.  (It's the dilithium crystals, captain - they're gonna
blow...................)  Still trues at 180 mph WOT.
