Generator for the NW Regionals
« on: May 26, 2011, 01:54:53 PM »
Does somebody have a 115V generator that puts out at least 1000 watts that we can use at the stunt circle?  It would greatly reduce the workload for Scott and his crew. 

Thanks,

I thought cattle prods were battery powered.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

We have special cattle prods that shoot ball lightning at slow-moving contestants' ... well, that's why they call it ball lightning.

You would be welcome to use my 4K but I've been running it a lot lately to allow my sump pump to run every 15 minutes!!  Why does our power always go out at night instead of when I don't want to sleep!? HB~> HB~> ''

I'm in trouble then -- all my engine runs seem to either end in the middle of a loop, or run on well past the end of the pattern.

Dan has a Honda generator.  Actually, he has a Honda and an inverter.  The inverter has sufficient capacity to power a MonoKote iron which ought to be fine for your *new* printer.  The whole setup is not much bigger than a dedicated gas generator.  An added advantage is you don't have to push it to and from the ED's tent.
