Once again they're talking about how dangerous it is when the lights go

out, but there's no mention of why they did or how to keep it from

happening.

    It's sad that flagship publications like AOPA Pilot,

    Sport Aviation, etc. are so disconnected from the

    real mission (journalism and teaching) that so little

    of what they publish is truly useful. It's even sadder

    that folks who read the articles believe they're

    getting the best-we-know-how-to-do advice simply

    because of the publication's prestige.

They didn't mention it because they probably didn't know what to say.  Lots

of unexplained things happened in the "old days" because things just weren't

understood.  Trouble is there are too many 20-50 year old airplanes still

flying today in the face of newer technologies.  Makes me think of all the

old patched up cars in Cuba when they could have much newer models. 



One of the main reasons I am building my own is because I want something

better than 1950' technology without the unreasonably high cost of a

certified aircraft with modern technology (if one even exists).  Voltmeters,

ammeters, E-buss, Engine monitors with alarms etc and knowing how to use

them makes OBAM aircraft much better in my opinion.  Having the right

equipment (technology) and knowing how to use it is better than just

"noticing" that the panel lights "seem" a little dim.  I know simpler is

better when all other things are considered equal, but for me, a more

"complex" machine is more "capable".  I will learn the systems.
