It should have been a good day for a hundred dollar hamburger!
I flew to Menomomnie checked out the huge Walmart distribution center. Filled up with
fuel and headed to Chetek for a burger at Reds Food Establishment.
Well I almost made it...
The idiot light came on and told me the alternator quit. Decision time!
I am only about 8-9 miles from Chetek, been flying about 20 miles so far.
Can't fix anything in Chetek so I decided to head back to New Richmond.
Punched in KRNH and the GPS says 40 miles....
About 10 miles further the EIS quit, no gauges altimeter, gas gauge, rpm, etc.
In another 5 mi or so the I-Fly GPS quits. Good thing I was also using my Goecaching hand held
as I have trouble find my way to the bathroom let alone an airport some where over THERE???
Anyway I made it back with fumes to spare..
