Bloke assumes a comfortable position to review the instructions for the installation of a permanent magnet generator on the Ercoupe. Not long after this photo was taken we took the plane out and checked the operation of the generator. It was a good news/bad news situation. The generator worked flawlessly, that was the good news. The bad news was that the magneto we had to remove and reinstall was not timed correctly. That is why we test things before we try to fly them.
