I have a perfectly functioning DLE30 engine that has a custom alternator and PMU (power management unit). The PMU is wired to take a 6S battery, and there is a power switch between the battery connection and the PMU, so when the system is installed, you flip on the power switch to initialize your autopilot and communications link (includes a slit Y connection, output is 24 volts and was running a Pixhawk in parallel to a DJI Lightbridge. since they each required 12 volts). Then you crank the engine and the alternator sends current to to the PMU, which automatically switches from battery to alternator and starts charging the battery. This is great if you ever lose your engine because then you have a fully charged battery to maintain telemetry data and location without a data cutout. The power module and alternator come from SullivanUV. This is a professional setup and was powering a 60 pound plane that had a thermal/night vision PTZ slotted to be installed, but funding never got there and the aircraft body was scrapped for part. Now I'm left with this set up and I don't have time to really be doing any UAV building. So if anyone has interest in this, please let me see. I haven't quite calculated the price and just want to put this out there to see what kind of market there is for all of the people here. Keep in mind, this is not a low-level setup, and it will be on the pricey side. Let me know what you all think, and I can upload some pictures when I'm not at work.

Also, the DLE30 is equipped with custom milled spacers and a 10x20 pusher prop, and doesn't include gas tank or fuel line. And comes with 2 DLE30 ignitions, with one being a backup.
