jperryfly 10 Posted August 15, 2003 I'm Building an AeroCanard with an IO-360. Anyone have a good idea for an alternator? I was thinking of using the B&C LR-3 volt regulator. It's gonna be IFR and some kind of EFIS. John Quote Long Ez, AeroCanard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Slade 10 Posted August 15, 2003 I was thinking of using the B&C LR-3 volt regulator From all I've read, that's the best combination. If not already there, you might also want to get Bob Nuckolls' book / CD and join the aeroelectric list for many tips and tricks.

chuckthedog 10 Posted August 15, 2003 I have been using a 55 amp Hundai alternator for over 7 years. No problems the voltage regulator is built in. Cheeper than B&C it includes bracket for Lycoming. Sold by Mark Landoll's Electric Service 2112 SW 76 st. Oklahoma City, OK 73159 405-685-0239 he also sells light weight starters.

jperryfly 10 Posted August 18, 2003 I used Landoll's alternator on my LZ but in reading AeroElectric Conn I thought maybe I would be better off using the LR-3 regulator but the B&C alts are pretty pricey so I hoped to put it on some other alternator. I think I'll take the B&C picture to the auto store and say I want one like that. It's probably a Nippondenso which is widely or wildly used, I think. I don't know though the old relay type regulators failed often but I have never seen one of the solid state ones fail in an over volt condition.
