Your email address didn't work.
In response to your request for a Dallas plane.
I'm just outside the area in Granbury, about 30 miles southwest of Ft. Worth. I'd be glad to help. But I'm sure that there will be many others.
Let me know if I can assist.
I've attached a photo of my plane. I've altered many areas. Taylor wire, spark plugs, alternator, aux. fuel plug, pre-oiler, K&N air filters, on board charging system, 24 and 12 volt buss, and dropped the weight by 254 lbs.

Jim...any way you could elaborate on the benefits of 24 and 12 volt buss and how it
was achieved? If you were doing a straight homebuilt, would you go 12 or 24v ? Thanks..

I would advise on a home built to use a 24 / 28 Vdc system for several reasons
1. Wire size smaller, lighter,cheaper.
2. Used avionics are much cheaper in 28 Vdc i.e. a King KX 155 with G/S the difference
in price is about $1000.00 on the used market between a 12 Vdc and 28 Vdc.
3. Electric gyros as well.
4. Things like electric fuel pumps with 28 Vdc you can go with military surplus.
There is not the demand for 28 VDC stuff vers 12 VDC so most every thing used is cheaper.

The CJ uses a 24 volt system. Instead of reinventing the wheel I left it intact. I only removed those systems that I didn't need or wanted to upgrade. ADF out, radio replaced, AH kept. And so on. I decided to use two gel cell batteries. Doug Sapp suggested to use the Odyssey Batteries. Great choice. I hooked them up in series for the 24 volts. And drew off one for the 12 volts. This created an uneven draw between the two batteries. Brian Lloyd suggested using a battery balancer to solve the uneven draw. It works. I also placed a battery charger in the plane that charges 24 volts. And the balancer is working all of the time. Robbing Peter to pay Paul so to say. The batteries stay at the same level. I could have use the balancer to reduce the 24 VDC to 12 VDC, but if it went out I would lose my radio and GPS and strobe.
Selecting between 24 and 12 VDC is almost a personal choice. Select the radio, nav system, lighting etc., and see what you want. I understand that you are using the HS6. It starts on 24 VDC. You may want to use the coil and air start valve, that comes with the engine, instead of trying to change it to 12 VDC. Although the change isn't difficult. If you are concerned about weight, then go with a single volt system. If weight isn't a problem, then as a guy "the world is your toilet". Do what makes you smile. The best way is subjective.
Keep us informed of your progress.

On this same thread, I am not familiar to a battery equalizer. Could you please lead me to a source. I have a Yak 52 and also multiple military vehicles. I would like to use a 12 volt winch on a 24 volt truck. Can the equalizer handle that much amp draw on one battery?

Kansas Wind Power sold the unit to me some time back. Their web site is, http://www.kansaswindpower.net/dc_accessories.htm. They have two models, I use the 10/20 amp unit. It is a little pricey but worth the cost. It works. And easy to hook up.
Hope this helps.
