Attached are the instructions, I used for the install. They include
a wire diagram.

Hmmmm . . . the wiring is, shall we say, unconventional.
Circuit protection is usually installed at t ...

Attached are the instructions, I used for the install. They include a wire diagram. I am currently not going to hook up the Wig Wag feature, this was not planned when I wired the plane a couple year ...

I think it is called a pigtail I originally wired my RV-8A to use Van's 75W halogen landing and taxi light system. I ran 16 AWG wire from a 15A breaker to the switch, the switch is set up as OFF-TAX ...

My GNS-430W is a tight fit and the connections for the 4 antenna cables are very close to each other. One of them is close to a cross cabin brace and the outside of the BNC can touch this metal brace ...

Carl,

My first idea was to run the mixture inside the support from what you see in the above picture but once I had the exhaust hung, the hanger gets in the way, this drove me to move it to the out ...

Carl & Terry,

Thanks for the inputs, it is alway nice to know you are on the right track. In the photo you can see prototype #1. I basically went the straight route, this seems to give the be ...

Terry,

It looks like you came up with the solution I am getting too. I assume you had the AFP unit sent back to have the mixture control rotation revered to make yours work. My unit came with the ...

I am trying to sort out my mixture and throttle cables. If you have a RV-8A (nose gear) and Air Flow Performance fuel injection, that is vertical induction please message me.

The exhaust hangers ( ...

Thought I would follow up with a picture. I decided to attach the standby alternator B lead on the downstream side of the ANL since it was more substantial than the screw on the shunt. If the screws ...

Bob,

Since I would like to share one shunt, the shunt would have to come after the ANL for the main alternator and the fusible link for the standby alternator. Is there any issue with the placemen ...

I am going to ask this question a different way. In Z12 there are 2 alternators, on plays a standby roll and will only produce power when the main alternator goes out or is turned off. Given that on ...

I can't figure out how to break up the quoted part so my answers are in blue.

As you can tell I really don't want to install a second shunt if I
can help it.

Then don't do it. Main ...

I have a Z12 design with the SD20 standby alternator. I am trying to decide if I can leave out the shunt for the SD20. The Dynon FlightDEK 180 supports a single ammeter so here are my thoughts.

1 ...

Paul,

Sorry to pile on but I would appreciate a copy of your POH as well.

Cheers

You are correct, my grounds are good but there is a difference in voltage due to the diode the power goes through to get to the E-Bus. I was surprised to see the difference in that the D10A is and EF ...

I bought the AEC Instrument ground bus, which is a Dsub 37 pin connector. In looking at my instrument panel items the radios have 18 AWG wires for the power and grounds.

The Dsub standard density ...

My Breaker panel will be hinged at the bottom, the idea being future maintenance, you just have to tip the panel out to get to the bus bars. In order to support the wire bundles I want to use a cushi ...
