Hi Europa Flyers
My son, Angus, put this together flying from Raglan (North Island, New
Zealand) home to Rangiora in the South Island for a bit of fun.
Had a Ducati regulator failure on the way home above Mt Ruapehue
eventually taking the battery out. Lost radio, transponder, GPS, engine
instruments, Aware, TCAS, intercom, trim, fuel indicator and Airmaster
propeller unit stuck in climb pitch, max continuous. Still had engine
and wings which is all we needed. Landed at Wanganui for new battery,
arriving NORDO. So the iPad (Air Nav Pro) was excellent and the cell
phone to warn the aero club at Wanganui we had no radio.
All in a days flying.
Cheers,
Tim
