REFLECTOR: electrical sys design

RE: REFLECTOR: electrical sys designJack,

Actually, a couple of sealed-lead-acid (aka Recombinant Gas) batteries can be no larger than the big car battery that the Velocity manual calls for.  They will crank that big engine just fine!

  Great I knew there was an advantage to being 225#!! I don't need the second battery for CG reasons.
  Seriously If you are going to have two batteries in the nose you are going to have to make some serious modifications. Not much room in there. I guess you could move the nose oil cooler to the wing root but then you need to do something about the cabin heat. A smaller battery could go on top of the canard but then it is really in the cabin. I wish  had taken Bob's course I probably would have done things a little different
