Re: web site!!!!

Well done to Lucy Wootton in redesigning the LAA website using Wix. It looks good, easy to navigate and has a search function.

Re: Dual battery setup for Leberg ignition

Skelly, when I had my Jodel D9 with a Leburg system on a 1600 VW, I used two Yuasa batteries, one being 7Ahr (NP7-12) and the backup a 2Ahr (NP2-12). The latter was narrow and didn't take up much space. Worked fine.
