yup, didn't think about the families who would be exposed. pretty dull rumble for the most part although...what some consider noise others consider music.

Well my wife and friends who don't fly can hear them. Me to when I go in for a break out of the sun etc. Its annoying to me to have to hear generators all day. If they were kept out of the way in front of the RV's that would be different. But inevitabley someone always brings these things right by all of their setup equipment under the tent etc.

Been there, done that. Works fine if you are chargine smaller batteries. I have a big car battery I have been using and it is not enough to be charging 6s 5000's all day. So then I have to end up charging off the car. My jets take 2 6s 5000's so I charge them both together along with a couple other smaller batteries and the battery doesn't last that long. Rather than get a second one to wire together it is much easier to get a generator. No charging....just add gas and go!
You might want to be careful charging from your car... Look at district X Report in the back of the November Model Aviation magazine.... NOW THATS A FIRE !!!!!! I bet the wife was pissed !!!!

nope my car battery works just fine thank you. Doesn't need gas, is quiet and smaller. I can charge batteries, run power tools and I don't have to hear that annoying motor all damn day at the rally.

Does anyone still have one of these for sale? Thanks in advance for reply.

RE: HONEYWELL 2000W GENERATOR @ HOME DEPOT
Guys,
In all honesty, Generators are not needed near like the used to.. Most all the flying sites have power for R.V.'s and plenty of plugs in the pit area.. I had to use Generators 2 weeks a go in Breckenridge, Tx. because it was at a full scale airport, and the first year for for an R.C. event... Other than that it has been several years since Generators were the only option for me...
Can't please all the people all the time !!! I've noticed where generators was the only power, the people who refuse to invest in their own Generator are the first ones to come over and ask if they can plug in !!! If I got room, of course they can !!!! But don't tongue lash us for having and useing our equipment..
My .02 cents worth....

RE: HONEYWELL 2000W GENERATOR @ HOME DEPOT
question for you guys that have one of these. I noticed that the breaker button does not click on her off. Is that normal? I have not tried to put oil or gas in it. I just took it out of the box and noticed the buttom is just spring loaded but does not click on or off and stay in any other position except sticking out.
Thanks,
Brian

lol, because I'm trying to deter people from buying them and using them at rallys.

Andy Andrews , What was the need for you to answer this man's question for ? , You made yourself quit clear in this thread you where not interested in this purchase. The question was if any are still available to purchase and you did not have the proper answer to his question just your bias to using battery power.
TUMBLER: Try asking Mark: [email protected]
He helped out me and alot of guys to purchase this generator. I mean what gain is there by having them verses a battery and a inverter?

Fill her with oil and gas and run her to find out if everything works ok, that is what I did with the one I got and all works just fine. I use mine alot now.

RE: HONEYWELL 2000W GENERATOR @ HOME DEPOT
I was just wondering if the switch was broken before I even try to start ot to avoid any hassles bringing it back. I just watched a vid of it running on youtube. It is certainly a lot louder than I expected.

Your warrenty will cover even if you start it up. How else do they expect you to know if it works if you don't start it.
The 12 volt breaker button is loose till it trips and it will stick stright out at you and you will have to push it back in to reset it.

Why would I pay $700 for that when I can get http://www.homedepot.com/Outdoors-Ge...atalogId=10053 for under $200 at the same rating?!?!?!

Well she runs!!! 3 pulls and ran flawlessly. Sure holds a lot of gas. There isn't any reason why I couldn't just fill it up/top it off at the gas station on the way to the field is there? Easier than having to get the gas can filled all the time.
Thanks,
Brian

That one has a higher DB rating. If sound is not an issue, it looks like a great deal!

Why do we have to "stick" to one specific question in a discussion forum? If anyone knew a place to get one, they would post it.

Tumbler, glad to here you got yours and it is working fine.
Now lets help KXH121 a WAR VETERAN, who just got home to get one like the rest of us got ours if it is still possible at the price of $299.00
His e-mail to me:
"I am still
looking for a generator so I can charge batteries for a new YA Starfire I am
building. I missed out on the initial thread because I was deployed to
Afghanistan. I just got back 3 weeks ago. I see you have been flying the Bandits
quite alot, have fun they are great jets. Take care and fly safe."

RE: HONEYWELL 2000W GENERATOR @ HOME DEPOT
If someone finds one, I am sure they would be glad to help him a nd let him know, but that is no reason to stop all other discussion especially as it relates to alternative generators for people that can't find the Honeywell. The thread should not be limited to one question at a time, I have never heard of that.

The box mine came in was beat up as well and had been opened. I made sure I could take it back if there was a problem and they said...no problem just keep your receipt. So I would go for it!

Saw one yesterday in a Tulsa Okla Home Depot for 299. Looks like it is probably thier last one. Box wasn't the freshest but I guess the Gen would be OK.
