When they saw my huge, automotive type alternator, the French builders said I should try aternators taken from large lawnmowers. These things have car-type headlights, nowadays, and they have very small, lightweight alternators.
I think I will put that on the improvement list.

I am looking for information about supplementing and or replacing the Diehl alternator due to the electrical requirements that I have for full electrics, especially for night flying. I do not believe the 20 amp output is going to keep up and want to go with an automotive type alternator that can deliver more along the lines of 45 - 60 amp output. Any suggestions by any who are using them, actual applications. I have the common Type I VW with Diehl case, and pretty stock cowling.
