Akoshier- You are correct on getting too much information. I like idiot lights since they were named after me. They get my attention.......................................... Mike- Yes, there are 3 diodes now. Except one is BEFORE the governor circuit breaker and not between the breaker and the switch. I have to put the diode before the breaker because right after the diode, I Tee in my backup battery power and then it all goes through my breaker. If the diode was between the breaker and the switch, then my backup battery would have no circuit breaker protecting it. I did take my voltmeter across a diode and measured around a . 4 voltage drop. I now feel more complete being able to preflight my backup batteries voltage. I wish I had thought of your suggestion, but when you mentioned it, it was like a light went off in my head it was so obvious it was needed.........................................Good luck on your windshield. Are you going to paint an outline strip on the inside of your windshield? It hides the channel and really dolls it up. The Helicycle is constantly evolving as we builders add our modifications. After my flameout, switching my MFS became front and center priority. I was wanting to do that before I even flew it, but Blake said to do it after my checlout. Now it will be a mandatory modification. I am glad to hear that. The turbine is a very dependable powerplant. Its the supporting systems that have a greater chance of causing it to fail. These mods reduce some chances for this to happen. Oh, another great use for the voltmeter is on startup. Once, and I will say only once when I was first engaging my starter to hear the turbine turn over, it stuck on. I had to shut the main power off to disengage it. That immediately got me concerned how to know if the starter disengaged during an actual light off. I mean during all this excitement and turbine whine while starting, you have to be on your toes to hear the starter disengage. I want to KNOW my starter disengaged. I was thinking of running a light in my dash that came on when the starter had voltage, but that's when I realized to simply monitor the information that is vividly already in my face coming from my voltmeter. When the starter is engaged, the voltmeter shows a huge voltage drop, and snaps back to nominal voltage when the starter is out of gear. So, I simply look at my voltmeter while holding the starter button, and when the turbine gets to 20,000 or so rpm, my finger comes off the starter, and my eye verifies the voltmeter snapped back telling me the starter is disengaged. That starter sticking on me happened only once while in my shop a month before my first turbine start, and I could never get it to stick on again. I am glad it happened as I don't forget little or major lessons like this. Stan
