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



That is the reason why I sold my plane and got into Ultralight aviation 35 years ago.. I met several so called A&P mechanics with a shinny tool box full of Snap on tools and not a lick of sence up stairs.. You can't teach someone to be a mechanic,,either he has the talent for it or he does not. You can teach a Mechanic to be a better mechanic .     Demanding job protection from the FAA and forcing me to pay top dollar for a  third class mechanic with a condecending attitude  just sucks..that type of mentality killed the General Aviation world . I remember a dozen thugs protected by the FAA standing in line with their hands out and a Student pilot at the starting line counting his money,, hoping there will be enough to make it to the last person.. 
   There is nothing magic about Alternators on aircraft,,infact, they are a "Johnny come lately" item in aviation.. And I'd be willing to bet that not many so called FAA approved mechanics could take one apart and completely rebuild the thing without someone holding his hand.
         Some things in the Aviation world are rediculasly over protected,,,and others that should be Highly protected,,are not at all. Just follow the money and you will see the faults..
  Sorry for my nasty disposition,, but it was put there by FAA protected  Scammers..
      LSA was supposed to help do away with the old system,,but it did not. All it did was copy what did not work before and place younger  Thugs in the money line.

Rotax will not sell direct to anyone except the factory authorized
distributors. You can check suppliers in other countries but by the time
you pay the shipping you probably wouldn't save much.Please be sure to
keep in mind that if this alternator is on an SLSA then a factory
authorized repair or replacement is all you are allowed to use.
