Agreed.  I have a three led voltage monitor right in front of me, red,
yellow, green.  I also have a big red light and audio alarm if my
alternator
quits.  Probably won't hear the audio alarm in the air with the engine
noise and headset on, but it works really well on the ground to remind
you to turn your master switch off.

Perry, could you share with us how you rigged up your warning light system,
including schematics and warning light part numbers.
Thanks,
Lonnie
