Electrical output Rotax 532
Im wondering how much electrical output i will have on my rotax 532. will it be enough to power a radio, transponder,GPS, landing light, strobe light, and wingtip marker lights. Would i be better off not using a standard radio and going with a handheld that i can run off of the electrical system when im not using much of the other things and use it on its own battaries to save energy consumption for everyhing else when I need to. I like the look of a flush mounted radio in the dash though. Thoughts, opinions.

My 912 electrical system won't run that much all at the same time.

If I recall right, the 532 points system has a total of 130watts at cruise rpm. That's about 10 amps max.

You can make it work if you use LED Lighting and a solid state transponder.

Re: Electrical output Rotax 532
Thanks For all the great info. 10 amps gives me a number to work with, I think i may just go with a nice handheld radio and make a flush dash mount for it then i can run off of battaries should i be running other things as well. the transponder will hardly ever be used but since im so close to Boise class C airspace I would like to have it. As for lights i was planning on using LED's so that should be fine.
