I'm brand new around here, still reading Bob's book for the first time, and just tooling up to wire my Stearman restoration.  I have two questions:



1)  The wiring diagram available online for it is kinda poor, but can anyone confirm for me that a 14 v/50 amp Jasco 6555T-1 alternator will work with the B&C LR3C-14 controller?  I think it will but the online alternator schematic is rather crude.



and



2)   If using the B&C firewall bus kit, does the avionics ground bus Bob talks about (the panel bus) ultimately tie into it?



thanks,

Dan

I believe that the avionics ground bus ties to the B&C with 5 20 gauge wires.  I just happened to be reading that section the other day.  I was wondering though, if I have enough real estate on the larger ground bus, and all of my avionics are a foot away, should I still use the D-sub bus, or should I just use the other tabs instead?

Good Afternoon Dan,

  

 I do not know whether the B&C alternator controller will work or not.  However, the Jasco folks will send you a wiring diagram for your Stearman that  is right up to date. The original Jasco installation on my Stearman was done  when no radio was anticipated. They now have a newer wiring diagram to be used  when a radio is to be installed. I have found the Jasco folks to be very nice to  work with.

  

 Will we see you at Galesburg?

  

 PS  The B&C folks are also first class. I would not hesitate to  call and ask them if you do not already have the Jasco Alternator  Controller.

  

 Happy Skies,

Dan - 



Welcome!

I would expect most any wound-field alternator to play well with the LR3C.

A call to the manufacturer is in order.



If you choose to mount an avionics ground buss, it should tie directly to

the firewall-mounted ground buss.

Thanks for the help, guys.  Rereading Bob's book I see now where the Avionics ground bus does tie to the main ground either with the three 20 gauge or two 14 gauge wires.  



Won't see you at Galesburg this year Bob, but maybe in '12.



I'd sure like to use the LR3C-14 after reading about it (besides I already bought one!) as it looks like an overall simpler installation and comes complete with the OV protection and low voltage warning.
