This last week, with trembling hands and fire extinguisher close at hand, I connected the battery to my Kolb Mk III's new electrical system. I used the Z -17 schematic virtually verbatim. I did put in a SPST key switch between the fuse panel and the starter solenoid, but that's about all I deviated from the plan you laid down. To my delight, and relief, all the smoke remained in the wires and everything works. I realize that my system is bare bones simple compared to all of you glass panel folks out there, but this was my first attempt at wiring up an airplane from scratch.

 Thanks, Bob.
