Excuse what might appear a dumb question, but apart from the cost of installing & maintaining the instruments, what is the issue for gliding here? If you only want to stay airborne for 3 or 4 hours, adding another 7AH battery may be enough (I still haven't found power requirements for ADS-B and Mode C transponder though). However, I have Alice set up for LONG flights - my longest so far is 8:40 and I expect 1000k to be around 10 hours. I regularly (in a normal soaring season) fly for over 6 hours. I already have 3 9AH batteries in Alice (2 main, one reserve) and am looking to add a solar collector next year. I rather suspect that even that will not be enough. I'm not even sure if I could find space for another battery, let alone two! -- Robert Hart [email protected] +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au |
