Shack. I need to know the polarity, DC voltage, and amps.
Thanks

Oil Coolers by
[email protected]
In October, after an extensive repair/restoration of my airplane, the
oil cooler split on start-up and dumped most of the oil. Long story, but
the engine seized up 6 minutes into the flight and we did an emergency
landing in the desert. We were very fortunate to walk away with minor
injuries,...

Airplane Batteries by
[email protected]
I am a new airplane owner (since May). My mechanic replaced my battery
last June. No choices, I figured he bought the one it needed.
Just serviced it (added water). It's in a REALLY awkward spot to get at
and see inside the cells -- on the floor under the instrument panel of a
plane with no doors...

Finally picking up my airplane tomorrow after a 2-month annual. Just
