Tested it with the pre-heater and it works fine, too. Pre-heater is rated for a maximum draw of 1500W. The Honda gen-set is rated for a continuous outp...

Re: New FAA rules make flying more affordable!

Jess,
Welcome from North Carolina and congrats on flying again. I'm new here, too! Purchased the Vagabond that I will be flying under Sport Pilot rules. There's many knowledgeable folks here that can answer questions.
