starter motor.

I want to install a separate starter button, i have purchased a press button switch, rated at 6 amps (at) 12 v and 6 amps (at) 250v

Is this OK.

The switch spec.

Morning Alan



I would think so.  The starter switch circuit should be protected by a 2 amp

CB according to the manual.



My switch is nothing like as good as that one.  Looking at the spec these

are clearly intended for vehicle use so should be fine.  You must have

bought the last one the RS website is now showing your link as back order

shipping 15 April.



Another grey and damp morning up here.  Glad I got a fly on Saturday it has

not been fit since.



My mate at Goodwood got a go in an Extra 330 on Sunday.  He timed the take

off - 4 seconds from start of roll to airborne at 70 kts. Mind you it is a

540 cu in engine that is 9.55 litres!  Said it was a lovely aeroplane to fly

even if you could not see where you were going.



Pete

Thanks Alan, that's just what I've been looking for.



It has to energise the starter relay of course,

Steve.

Hi All.

So 6 amps is OK, i am not a builder so don,t have odd pieces of alloy laying around so had to use an old plate i found, i have made my little panel and fitted it in place, also made a little CB panel, to connect it to. Sometime i will get round to wiring it up,so a couple of questions.

The switches are 6 amps at 135v AC so i am limiting the Aux power sockets to

6 amps each by an in line fuse. I am not sure if the switch would take 10 amps at 12 volts ? 6 or 10 ?

The usage will be, phone, ipad, inspection lamp, tyre pump, 

I intend to put the 2 x in line fuse on the (live + wires) BEFORE the switches,? 



The Starter Button, is 6 amps, and power switch also 6 amps, flip the switch and the START BUTTON illuminates in RED,then Press for start.

Does anyone have the Rotary Mag key starter switch, because i need the starter relay wire from this switch, i take it that its is single pole so just the two wire to be taken over to my new switch, which two.?



This will now give me independent mags, for engine starting.

Later the Soft Start module this is only 20 minutes to fit if you have separate mag switches, its the easy bit.

Alan.



Just a thought, your aircraft has a LAA permit, I assume , and if so you must have an LAA inspector to sign off your re wiring work. 

He , the inspector, is the best person to check out these options and changes. and give you advice 

 . The forum is a good place for information but in the end it is wise to have your plans looked over by another independent pair of eyes.

regards

Tim

Hi Tim.

Yes , I am fitting torque tube clamps at the moment and the tubes are away for the fitting of new pins as well, but want the whole job done, so my inspector can check out the whole lot when he visits, the forum has people who are experts in there field, engines , electrics, and its useful to

get there opinions also.
