Richard Reibel's Air Driven Alternator Installation in N4050

Thanks to Richard Reibel of Pismo Beach, CA for sharing this information.

Richard's comments:

I'll be glad to share all information on the installation of the BPE-14 on my aircraft, and I am very pleased with its performance. I don't have an ammeter installed, just a voltmeter, and it performs pretty much as advertised. I did not see any major decrease in airspeed due to the alternator installation. I also can't hear any noise attributable to the turbo alternator past my own engine noise.

For further information about the BPE-14 Turbo Alternator, contact Ron Cox at Basic Aircraft Products, Inc.
