Here is a great deal, for all those worried about OV with internal 

  voltage regulators, worry no more.

   

  Thank goodness, some one finally did it!!!!

   

  Yea, at $375, complete kit w/ OV protection that BLOWS everything 

  away. Yea! I am so happy

  B&C better lower their price to get realistic, in my humble opinion. 

   

  B&C L-60 & LRC3C: $823 (boss mount), $913 (case mount).

  That is $448 and $538 MORE! than Van's new alternator!!!!!

   

  That's a price factor of TIMES  2.19  and  2.34, well over double 

  between B&C and the plane power unit. 

   

  I always dis-liked B&C price gouge for the "case" mount. Why? 

  Does a bracket cost $80 more? However this a free market and 

  what the market will bear. God Bless America. (Please send any 

  anti-American comments to me directly. We are taking about two 

  American companies and was not meant to exclude or as a slight 

  against the other countries or the world.)

   

  I am not against B&C and think they make a great product, but 

  I they have priced themselves out of the market. This is my opinion 

  based on my personal judgment. Feel free to disagree and tell me 

  why you think B&C products are not over priced.

  I think the plane power answers the problem. With the lower price 

  thru Van's aircraft this is a clear winner. Am I wrong?

   

  Is there some technical reason that a $375 alternator with solid 

  OV protection, simple installation is not a better choice than a 

  E-VR B&C alternator/regulator at over twice the cost? 

   

  As a side note Plane Power recommends cooling air. I also 

  would suggest connecting the warning light.

   

   

  Cheers George lol

People will pay what the product is worth to them..  If a truly better

value comes along, the market will change.  Ain't America great!



If B&C has been gouging, it seems surprising that an equivalent but

significantly less expensive alternative has not made it to market sooner.

Not really surprising at all considering how much it costs to go through the whole FAA approval process.  Not a lot of money in alternators I'm guessing and everyone is interested in glass more than old tech like alternators.  When I ran into Plane Power at OSH last year I immediately made up my mind to go with them.  Nice people, very knowledgeable, and it's not like alternators are rocket science or anything.



  Saying B&C has been gouging may be a bit rough, lets just say their prices are several times higher than what the sum of their parts are worth. 



  Glad there are now options, just wish Van's would carry the bigger 70amp EI and EE models as they have more cooling and spin a little slower.  And even that model is less than B&C.  Looking forward to seeing their standby alternator.
