'Has any one had any experiance with these on a Warner?

http://www.skytronicsinc.com/Alternators.htm

Is there any alternative to the Eclipse Generator?'

'Tom,

They have been installed on a few Warner and Ranger powered F-24s. I
maintain two of them. I will send you some FAA 337 data. Work well, follow
the install instructions. No STC available. I will install one on the Smilin
Jack NC22036. Save weight and increase elec power.

'Agree, they are lighter, smaller-lengthwise, and powerful. Installed
one on a Wright as we didn't have f/w clearance for long gens. The
only concern is most Eclipse have various flexible drives built in
for shaft mis-alignment...some have rubber, some use a "pencil"
shaft, an arrangement like a shaft in a shaft. The Jasco does have a
self aligning drive, but the 2 I messed with were STIFF. I was
concerned as to any strains this may place on the accessory drives,
especially the step up unit on a Wright. May not be a problem, just a
factor in your decision, in particular, non- STC installations. The
original Ranger gen had a rigid shaft so this may not even be a
factor. These things have bazillions of hrs on 985 and 1340 ag
planes and Jakes on 195's and new Wacos, so it gets along with P&W's
&Jakes just fine.
The prices are all in the same area it seems. The other link that
comes along for the ride is the controller...it's reliable, solid
state and I think field adjustable.
The system may get a little goofy to wire up as you are required to
install a 50amp brkr switch. This gives the Cessna 195 guys a fit
with the battery ign on a Jacobs and key ign switches. If you have
dual mags and a normal off l r both mag switch it's a no brainer. I
think their schematic is available online.
If Jamie gets you a 337 it should be a cinch to get your block 3
approval.
The Eclipse gens are dandy units but it does take a shop that
understands them and the missing link is the controller. I feel the
gen can be set up and give 1000 hrs of trouble free service, but it
gets short changed by being teamed up with a mismatched controller.
They have to work as a team and it takes fidgeting to get a matchup
as the modern controllers are really really cheap. A Zeftronics
controller is a great partner to work with an Eclipse but this too
takes a blk 3 signoff and by that time a fellow might say "heck, I
might as well put the Jasco in"
I discovered a neat little side benefit when installing the Jasco if
you're interested.

Try Chief Aircraft in
Grants Pass Oregon they have the Jasco's and are better to work with than
Spruce.

Thanks they got the order last night, It's cheaper to pay freight than
the stupid Wa. state sales tax..

Now I have some spare E-80 gen parts. good field assembly, armature,
and brush block assembly, the whole generator in fact. with new
bearings, but dissassembled.'

It is field adjustable. I tweaked mine to 13.8V after installation.
