David J., Graham, Kees, Jim & Heather...thank you all for your comments...
Bear in mind that my engine has no magnetos and is totally dependent upon a source of electricity to keep the prop turning...hence my consideration for flying around with an extra battery...highly recommended by Bob Nuckolls.

Hi Fred
My 914 is electrically dependent.
When soaring with long wings if my primary battery gives up the ghost upon start-up, I have a total loss battery to come to the rescue. I perhaps could even start off this NiMh battery but it would severely limit it's useful life. Thus air-start (I have a Airmaster). There are a few other reasons I like having it such as I can plumb direct to a fuel pump in seconds if need be:

Side note: I am using Erics CCA #4 equivalent wire. IMHO you best keep in the front of your mind if using CCA that the fatigue resistance is awful compared to Tefzel and really awful compared to many strand welding cable. Test fatigue before install and route to accommodate. It's also stiffer and requires a larger bend radius. Besides that, it crimps and solders (in that order) just fine. Very usable, just accommodate it's inherent characteristics.
