First off, I'm not an electrician but I wasn't a metals guy before I started building my plane either. I've gotten my Corvair engine built by William Wynne and will be starting the electrical work shortly and could use all the advice I can get.
I understand because of the Corvair I'll have to make changes to any of the AeroElectric plans but I could use some advise on which one to start with. Here's what the plane will have electric wise.
Icom A210
Garmin 320
Garmin 496
Landing and Taxi Lights
RAC trim on both aileron and elevator
Dynon 180
Strobes on the wings
Nav Lights
Electric Flaps
As I mentioned the WW Corvair engine has a unique ignition system Single plug per cylinder and dual ignition one points and one electronic. There are also two inline electric fuel pumps on the engine side of the firewall. They will be wired along with the ignition so that a single switch switches both ignition system and fuel pumps.
