I put together an off-the-grid home in "the back country" -- placing and cabling the batteries, attaching to inverters, installing and wiring all of the solar panels, assisting the electrician to attach and complete the wiring to solar panels, well pump, and house. None of these were "high on the happiness list" for me ....... but when I've encountered "overcurrent" or "stacking" errors or fluctuating current surges (not supposed to be possible when attached to a charged battery system and inverters -- an interesting situation, when finally figured out), I've been the one to solve each of these problems, since I "did" the installation. So, a working knowledge is a real plus, even for the airplane you fly! More power to the people who want to turn the guts inside out. 94783 is just such a beauty, restored by John-Olav Johnsen of Albuquerque, best Ercoupe and Best of Show at EOC in 1997. I lucked into this sweetheart, and you can bet she "won't change hands" for another 50 years. So .... sometimes rebuilding your own is going to be the only way to get hold of the plane you want (most people aren't going to be as lucky as me!) (Of the 4 planes I've bought in the past 23 years, all have been Coupes) Godspeed and great flying, John Trowbridge Houston N94783 415E ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
