I'm stumped and can't seem to move past the electrical phase of my 601XL Jab3300 project, and have grown tired of staring blankly at the firewall. I already bought the following components, and really just need a diagram to show how these particluar devices should be wired together:
Key Ignition switch (the kid that has L-R-BOTH mag positions)
Cessna-style split master switch
Standard starter solenoid (provided by Jabiru)
Regulator (provided by Jabiru)
Everything else I can figure out (and mostly have completed) but this main section of the electrical system has me at a roadblock. There are lots of terminals on the back of these particular devices -- some connections are obvious, others not. I've already read Bingelis' book, I perused Bob Nichols web site, studied the diagrams provided by Zenith & Jabiru. However, I couldn't find anything that uses the exact items above to see how they are all interconnected. I'm not interested in becoming an electrical engineer -- I just want to know how to hook this stuff up! So, before I give up and sell the whole darn project, thought I'd take a stab to see if anyone out there coincidentally used the same components as I am and maybe could share a schematic. Thanks,
Mike F.

Mike,
Sounds like you have visited the Aeroelectric Connection site, but I definitely recommend you purchase the book as well. It is loaded with schematics and has offers practical knowledge for wiring your plane. It's written so you do not need to be an electrical engineer, but IMHO offers the best and safest solutions for wiring your aircraft. I'm nowhere near the phase of the building process you're at, but I have been reading this book when not building.
Regards,
Dave Gardea

Mike,
Like Dave said, Buy the book and draw your own sketch of how things should connect. Use pencil and eraser, I get the big rectangle kind, and have at it. It is all about learning and doing.

During my build, I used a 12V battery pack from a cordless drill (a 14V pack
could also be used), to run preliminary checks of continuity/operation and
also preliminary "smoke tests" ** (the amperage in the battery pack is a
heck of a lot less than using a 12/14 volt aircraft battery). When I ran my
first smoke test on all systems before first flight, everything worked!
** As has been stated by many "experts", Electrical systems work by having
smoke run through the wiring. As long as the smoke stays in the wiring,
everything is ok.

You forgot to mention that the special smoke you use to test your
wiring can only be seen if you look at it through a mirror. It is
all just "Smoke and Mirrors".
