    Years ago when I had my T-Craft the airspeed indicator failed. Just a broken hose in the pitot line, but I flew it for several weeks that way before I got around to fixing it.

    Okay, time to eat a little crow.

    Well, sort of. While the conversation on flight instrumentation is still open, I learned the value of engine instrumentation.

    Turns out my Diehl alternator is overcharging my battery, enough to where I smoked the last one. No way I would have known for sure what did it if I didn't have a voltmeter on the panel.
