Europa-List: Re: Battery independent power supply for Rotax 914 fuel pumps

[Roland <schmidtroland@web.de>]

Hello Will,

to be independent of electricity is indeed a big advantage. However there are 
few
modern engines (Rotax iS, Continental CD 155 Diesel, car engines....) which
aren't.

As far as I know there was only one (documented) electrical related accident in
Switzerland with a MCR01, which didn't have a standard setup if my memory 
serves.

That said, it's of course always better to have redundancy (other than just the
battery), especially in a plane and that is why I'll go for the Silent Hektik
product.
