OK. The guy was/is a blowhard, with obviously way to much time on his hands to be able to write long rambling dissertations with no point; however....maybe there is a diamond or two amoungst all that pig....stuff.
Bob wrote:
(1) He refused to acknowledge a modern alternator could experience a gross OV failure in spite of demonstrations to the contrary. (2) He brushed aside my oft stated design goals for providing seamless integration of his favorite product (the IR alternator) into classic aircraft electrical systems.
It irritated the snot out of me that he would never simply state an alternative set of design goals. He did expound on the benefits that an IVR has...temp compensation, slow start, etc. I think those are desirable, but not if they don't fit in with the rest of the design goals. Bob has clearly and succinctly stated that the design goal is that the pilot have complete control of the charging system. It seems to me that simply modifying one word would open the door for IVR systems and maintain or increase the current level of safety. Do we really need 'complete' control, or will 'ultimate' control suffice? That is, we allow the IVR to work it's magic was the IVR designers have seen fit to have the magic performed, but the pilot has "all rights reserved". (S)he can hit the kill switch and take it out of the system at any time. Yes that might break the alternator, but isn't it being taken offline because it's already broke?

Maybe for the point of humor you can all assume "gmcjetpilot" is a
former and now furloughed corporate pilot contracted by GMC before or
during the time they made so many foolish decisions. And now he is
bitter due to the cutbacks.
My delete key works great and is a source of confirming the system is
working well. Think of his as a possible Renault pilot with a French
attitude.

I believe his screen name derives from his name, rumored to be G.
McQueen, and I can vouch for his willingness to devote lots of time to
private off-list mentoring and his usefulness as a source for
alternator and regulator part numbers. Not all his posts are caustic,
but too many are.

Many have said they have back line conversations with George McClean and he has been helpful. However, how do you know if his information is valid? I reiterate, who is this guy?
If you have followed his threads on the various lists he displays a knowledge of ALL aspects of aviation, kit building, fiberglass work, painting, camp stoves. If someone disagrees with him he will belabor the point to death. He knows everything. I have never seen him post a question. On Doug's Forums he is often the last one to post on a given subject. He is a thread killer. He is beligerent, argumentative and contrary to most opinions that are not parallel to his. This type of activity is not needed.
This may appear personal and in part it is. If you saw the LONG personal attack he sent me you'd understand. Notice he doesn't post any real information but at least has posted he is from the Raliegh NC "area." I asked him why he doesn't post who he is and he said, "there are stalkers out there." Sounds pretty paranoid to me.
For those of you who have said he has been helpful, use caution. We don't know who he is. Does anyone actually know him?
With this list we have a known expert in the field, with Bob Nuckols. I'm sticking with his advice. My concern is some new and unsuspecting person following George's advice only to find he is full of sh*t.
