Save your back, air up your tires

What voltage is your airplane? I'm trying to find out if anyone's found
one of these things that can use 28v safely.

Mine's 12 volt.

What do you want to do with it in your 28 volt plane? (It's generally a
stand-alone tool.)

Mines 28v so I have to pull the car up close. But the portable air pump is
a must have.

I have a 5 gallon air tank that I take out to the airport with me. Bought it
before I got in the hangar, there was no electric at the tiedowns and they
don't let cars in.

You don't need a car *or* electrical with the portable air pump we've got.
It's basically a big rechargeable battery with an air pump built around it.

We use it a LOT.

You said you were looking for one that works with a 28 volt plane. My air
pump is a 12 volt contraption, and is a stand-alone unit. It doesn't matter
what voltage your plane is, when all you want to do is fill up your tires!

Duh, ok, now I get it: yours has a *battery*in it!
I'm slow, but I get there.

You can still use the 12V one... it just works twice as fast! (Or, put
another way, you get the work done in half the time.)
