Speaking of smokng wires, one time when I was working on a certificated

airplane, I inadvertantly shorted a #22 compass light wire. Almost

immediately the cabin was filled with black acrid smoke. I was almost

overcome. I ran out to the hangar door to get some fresh air. I still

marvel at how much nasty material just 6 inches of tiny wire can create.



I think the safest course is to avoid any smoking wires, either one foot

or twelve feet, I think either one would probably kill you.

 Are you be happy with using Chlorinated Polyethylene jacketed welding

 cable for the full run to and from engine to aft battery knowing if it

 smokes, a dozen feet is in the cockpit (aeroplane is fiberglass)? How

 about only 1 foot?
