Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet electronicsPieters,While the list is thinking solar voltage etc I will ask a few questions. I wish to install a solar charger on 311CC. I wish to install a Transponder. I too was impressed with Chuck Gantzer's avionics. I will wire it for nav lights and strobe. Not for me but maybe for a future owner. Will have a handheldcom radio and GPS with internal supply sourse. For the xponder operation, what size battery would be needed? What size solar panel would be needed for the operational recharge of Transponder drain? What drain from nav lights and strobe?Limited night flying of course. Forget the weight factor I'll be solo 99% of the time. I vision the xponder mounted vertically angled back on the right side of cockpit in that 1 inch space against the ply side. The xponder is about1 1/2 inches high. It hit 100 here yesterday. Maybe I was out in the sun too long. Anyway I would appreciate any feedback on this subject. ThanksCorky, in La planting orange, grapefruit and satsumas trees today.________________________________________________________________________________
