Thanks everyone for your replies.

It seems that the consensus is that I need to be far enough forward to have 5" of belly pan on each side of the antenna, which for me would be about 32" ...

I will be mounting a uAvionix echoUAT ADS-B antenna on the belly pan of my cub. The vendor says to keep it 1 meter from my transponder antenna, which is mounted 14" forward of the leading edge of ...

Bob,

If you have any more of the high intensity LED's I could use two of them in RED.

Please send them to:

Bob,

You are right I should have called it my e-bus.

I have actually merged my endurance bus and e-bus. I had extra slots in my fuse block after wiring the EFI fuses. With the new low-power elec ...

I am building an electrically dependent airplane and I have used almost entirely fused circuits as Bob has suggested.

So, I will be using two ATC/ATO fuse blocks tied together for my endurance bus. ...

Bob,

I was one of the original respondents.

I need 2 red high intensity LEDs. I will be using one with a B&C voltage regulator and the other is a spare in case I screw up the install Smile

The issue of AH ratings has been around as long as lithium battery tech. Since the typical duty of a battery in a motor vehicle is purely starting, the lithium guys have almost always used AH 'equival ...

While connecting them in parallel might increase available current to start, it won't charge the other battery, unless it's badly depleted.

I missed the earlier posts in t ...

Mark,
Just a suggestion about your battery comments....
I would think that using the smaller battery to "boost charge" the larger battery might be better than trying to start an engine dir ...

Bob,

thanks for the info about the MANL fuse.

John,

Thanks for the link to the thread of Ross's evaluation of the Shorei battery. This is a good example of non-truth in advertising.

However, according to Ross the Shorei weighs 2.2 pounds an ...

John,

This is a very impressive amount of due diligence on your part.

Thank you so much for sharing all of this. It will help me up my game in my own planning.

The data on EM-5 current draw ...

Bob,

I could use two of the RED high intensity bulbs.

I assume you will tell me how to pay.

To finish off another thread, if I have a 40 amp alternator and I want to fuse-protect the B-lead w ...

Bob,

You were right. My spreadsheet numbers (and my memory of the correct numbers) were wrong.

The range of energy consumption per injection according to their vendor is .5 - 1.5 amps depending ...

Bob,

My design goals for Alt Out operations are approximately 1 hour of flight time to get on the ground while continuing use of my EFI, EFIS, EIS 1 radio and the transponder.

As an overarching ...

Bob,

Thank you for your reply.

I changed Z11 in four ways:
1. I am using an EFI system so I enlarged the Endurance Bus to incorporate all of the EFI component circuits;
2. I added a Lighting B ...

I am building an LSA Carbon Cub which will be electrically dependent. since I will be flying only day VFR, I have followed Bob's advice and I am following the KISS principle and wiring the plane like ...
