I know that this has been hashed out a lot - but - I can't help but wonder what it about the RV-12 electrical system that is causing some VRs to die quite young? It it inadequate generation source for the electronics and lights that we are running? Is it the VRs themselves - are they undersized? Under built? Poorly built? Should we try, for instance, Ford, GMC, Chrysler VRs? Why only Bugatti and tractor VRs? Seems that those who are flying other types of aircraft with the Rotax 912 don't have this problem. Maybe I'm wrong?
From where I sit with no personal experience and only the VAF as my source of info, it appears that`something must be wrong with the RV-12 'system'. With ?????K Rotax engines flying, why do we have this recurring problem? Carry an extra RV whenever I leave my home airport? Really? Something is wrong - what is it?
