Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Rotax 9series alternator

Helen,

Have you checked the prices at Leading Edge Air Foils(LEAF) or California Power Systems(CPS)? With Lockwood, they are the only 3 "distributors"(aka Service Centers) in the USA. Anybody else you might be able to buy from is either an OEM and limited in what they are allowed to buy wholesale from Kodiak(North and South America's direct importer) or a Repair Center like I am and required to make purchases through a regional Service Center with minimal discounts. Rotax and their distributors run a very tight supply chain.

LEAF is often the least expensive of the 3 and CPS is often the most expensive.

You might check with Ronnie Smith at South Mississippi Light Aircraft and see what he has in his inventory. Phone # is 601-947-4953. He should be home through Thursday and will be leaving for Sun-N-Fun on Friday morning. I will be at Sun-N-Fun as well and could check and see if anyone has one on "sale" if you like.
