Brief Description: Install Starter and Alternator

Brad assisted with most items today. The day started off with the belt pulley on the air compressor broke. This is going to impact my schedule until I can get it repaired. We installed a new starter from Sky-Tec. They recommend this one for the RV-10 as oppose to the one that Van's sells through Lycoming. We then re-installed the Plane Power alternator. The pulley is 1/8" further forward than the Lycoming pulley. i got much practice doing safety wire this afternoon. I think I did one about a dozen time before getting it compelted correctly.
