BEFORE DEPARTING ST LOUIS, MO, ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL UNTIL AN AUXILIARY POWER UNIT WAS USED. THE AIRCRAFT TOOK OFF AT 1746, AND ABOUT ONE HOUR LATER, THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE AMMETER INDICATED A DISCHARGE. THE FLIGHT WAS CONTINUED. LATER, THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND USING THE NORMAL SYSTEM. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD LEFT HIS FLASHLIGHT IN HIS CAR. HE WAS UNABLE TO READ THE OPERATING MANUAL OR LOCATE THE EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION DEVICE IN THE DARKNESS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS DAMAGED DURING A GEAR UP LANDING. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT AN ALTERNATOR FIELD WIRE HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED.
