<div>Nice. Well, if you contact Tech Aero you will get a reply from one of the guys who designed, assembled, tested, calibrated and actually use these regulators in their Pattern planes. Probably the same applies to the Jaccio. :) I know I don't have to speak about the quality of Castle Creation's Products.</div> <div> </div> <div>Not bashing the MPI stuff but their business model doesn't lend itself to "personalized technical support". </div> <div> </div> <div>John Pavlick</div> <div><BR><B><I>John Konneker <jlkonn@hotmail.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <STYLE> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } </STYLE> Claude,<BR>A reason I would be reluctant about running a MPI product is an experience I had with their CH-818 charger.<BR>Just before Toledo I bought one and
checked it out with my VOM. They claim it drops to trickle charge after<BR>it delta peaks. Mine did not. I talked to them at Toledo where they told me I didn't wait long enough between normal <BR>charge and trickle. When I got home I tried it again. This time I let it sit overnight. Guess what? It not only does not<BR>drop in to trickle but it actually discharges slightly. We exchanged emails back and forth in which they said they knew nothing <BR>about it.

Two months after this exchange they are still advertising it as a peak/trickle charger.<BR>Guess some folks will get a surprise, huh?<BR>JLK<BR><BR>> From: cweimer@tconl.com<BR>> To: nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>> Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:05:38 -0500<BR>> Subject: Re:
