The Jabiru alternator that is now in the plane has two ignition coils that have wires that connect to the two distributors. When these are removed to allow for the installation of the Rotec kit, there is no longer a connection to the distributors. Without current to the distributors, the engine will not start.

Horrible experience with Rotec Aerosport

On March 23, 2020 I ordered an alternator upgrade kit from Rotecaerosport for my CH601XL-B.

Hot cockpit in Zodiac CH601XL

I fly a Zodiac CH601XL. Recently, I flew it from KFFZ (Mesa, AZ) to KBRG (Belen, NM). In spite of the fact that I typically flew at 10,500 or 11,500 MSL the air temperature in the cockpit was about 100 degrees. That was true even when the OAT was about 40 degrees.The plane has two eyeball vents. However, they do almost no good in bringing cool air into the cockpit.Does anyone have recommendations for reducing the air temperature in the cockpit? Thanks!UPDATEIn response to my previous posting…See More
