Hi Ben,

I have a 2200A and a MicroAir M760 in my X-Air Hawk and don't have any problems. I chose the M760 because it's (relatively) cheap and also doesn't take up much panel space. As they also m ...

Just wanted to post and say that my X-Air Hanuman (French microlight 79II) finally flew this weekend. I adopted Bob's Z-20 for the Jabiru installation and apart from wiring the mags the wrong way rou ...

Thanks Buz, Rick, Lynn and Ralph for your experience. That's the great thing about forums like this. I think that I'll have a check on the critters after I'm flying and monitor how cool, or not, the ...

In my 2200A installation manual it says to fabricate some cooling tubes for the ignition coils on the ram air ducts. As my plane hasn't flown yet, can anyone with running experience tell me whether I ...

I have a 2200A and in the latest install manual it says to fabricate some cooling tubes for the ignition coils, from the ram air ducts. The ducts already have holes fairly well aligned with the coils ...

Thanks Lynn, Jim and Peter for the information. Lynn, I can't see that you will ever run out of things to fiddle with Smile

OK, so given that I need to add a strap to the starter, how do I get the b ...

Has anyone seem/implemented Jabiru's JSL 005-1 about adding an earth cable from the back of the starter body? I don't really want to add another heavyish cable to the front end if it's not going to m ...

Thanks again, Lynn. I'll get to it tomorrow!

Thanks Bob, SW and especially Lynn for the washer tip. Do I need to get the tip of the probe in the middle of the pipe? Because if so, I need around 1/2 inch of washers to achieve this on my engine? ...

Hi All,

Been monitoring this forum for some time, but I'm now putting the final touches to my 2200A X-Air H and I need your advice. I'm installing a Grand Rapids EIS monitor for the 2200 and the J ...

Thanks Alfio. Good job I checked. It never ceases to amaze me that these things can be produced and not labeled, assuming that everyone knows what they're doing - clearly wrong in my case!

Is there a convention for which of the 2 terminals in an Aux/cigar lighter port goes to + or -? I'm currently wiring my Aux power socket and wondered what everyone else does. I can't seem to find an ...

Hi Bob,

Phew, it's not easy posting a message like that as I always think it must be something I've got wrong or don't understand. So, you see, I must be learning and it's thanks to all of you out ...

Bob & all,

I have some 1-3 and 2-10 switches that were delivered by B&C about a month ago. The 2-10 is definitely wired as per the Micro Switch vs Carling article, i.e. with keyway up, on ...

Hi Bob,

I'm looking at Z-20K and I see that you have the 2 mag wires connected to different terminals on the mag 2 switches. Is there a reason for this? To my somewhat limited mind, it seems that ...

Thanks Bob, John & Bret for the replies.

However, in the light of contradicting evidence between the Micro SW vs Carling and figure 11-11 of the Switch Ratings documents, my (limited by equipme ...

Hi All,

I've searched the B&C site as well as Bob's AeroElectric site to try and find some schematics that will show me the pin numbers of the S700 series of fast-on switches, but without any l ...

Hi,

I'm just wiring up my S704-1 alternator disconnect relay for my Jab, but the 2 documents I have contradict the + & - cable connections. On the B&C site S704-1_tips.jpg shows them with ...

Thanks Ken, Bob and yes Brett, the sensor is just short of an inch round so a #2 wire & connector will fit.

Bob, if I say that I'm also installing the B&C Over/Under voltage sensor (BC207-1 ...

Thanks Bob for the response. I was going to heat shrink the lot once I was happy it was ok. I did think afterwards that I could have crimped the 2 wires into one spade connector - would that have be ...
