Here's a list of the electrical items that will be mounted behind my
instrument panel:

Trim Servo Controller
2 Fuse Blocks
1 Terminal Strip
ARINC Converter
Forrest of Ground Tabs
Ethernet Hub

Have I forgotten anything?

Jeff,

It would help to know what was going in your plane/panel...

- If B&C alternator you'll need to put the regulator(s) there.
- If GRT EIS you'll need to mount the manifold pressure sensor there
- The forest of tabs should be in the aft side of the firewall rather
than the subpanel
- If you've got an AFS AOA the process will go on the subpanel
- potentially an AHRS or GADHRS depending on the EFIS
- Potentially a Wx receiver

Good point Bob... the general panel plan is this:

AFS Advanced Deck EE
AFS 3400 EE
GNS 430W
SL-30
GTX-330
PMA-9000EX
TruTrack DIgiFlight IIVSGV

The Alternator will be the 60 amp Plane Power

Yep, depends on what you got - 2 more maybes
- external GPS for GRT if you want belts and suspenders
- backup battery for ADI if you want double straps on your suspenders

and i'm hiding my GRT EIS behind the panel

Jeff,

Bob's right, you will want the manifold pressure sender back there.
Possibly also the ammeter shunt.

Depending on how many antennas you have, you may need a couple of splitters.

If you have two nav antennas and a glideslope antenna, the point is moot.
But if you are using a single nav antenna, it's going to get interesting.

The SL30 splits its glideslope signal internally, but the 430 does not. So
the SL has only one antenna input; the 430 has two: nav and glideslope.

I took the single nav signal from the antenna, and split it into two signals
with a Comant splitter. One side went into the SL30, which took care of its
own glideslope. The other side gets split into nav and glideslope with
another Comant splitter for the Garmin.

I learned that there are two nav/glideslope splitters--one that goes from
nav to nav + glideslope, and one that goes the other way. Get the cheaper
one--they're identical and only differentiated for FAA purposes. And
pricing...

Thanks for this Dave. This was an issue that I have been avoiding but I
know is there.

I have a single Bob Archer Nav in a wing tip with an SL30 and a 430. My
concern is that the Bob Archer in a tip 'seems' like a backup solution
but right now it's my one and only.

What are others doing Nav-wise? I've read the archive and seen some
external installations but I really don't want to stick more external
antennas out there if I can help it.

Can a split Bob Archer be enough? I'd hate to find that out after
assembly.

My intent at this point is to try to use the Bob Archer for both units.
Then punt if that doesn't work. But I guess I need to invest in a
couple of splitters. Thanks again.

If you are planning to do the panel yourself, checkout the Approach
FastStack product and service. For a DIY panel, FastStack is like the
QB option.

You get a fully customized wiring solution for your selection of gear
including a customer wiring harness, documentation, and the FastStack
box which makes it all work. The box is just an unpowered junction box
that makes all the inter-unit connections. Seems real high quality and
definitely done with a lot of avionics expertise by Tim Haas.

You still end up making all the decisions about what to mount where,
putting together a power distribution paln, and doing the power wiring
but the inter-box connections are all designed and done for you. Price
on the unit and the avionics stack was very right too. Very flexible
and knowledgeable service.

I haven't finished it yet so I can't actually comment on the final
product but it certainly made doing it myself a much faster and I
believe a more reliable panel. Very happy so far.

Bill,

You can split the existing Archer nav antenna for both radios but it's probably about the same amount of money to just install another Archer nav (in the other wingtip). You'll get the added bonus of not losing signal strength due to splitting of the signal between the radios. Of course, most are using VOR as a backup to GPS and the ILS is very strong anyway...

Hey Bob,

I'm hoping I can split the one Archer because I have my second Com
antenna in the other tip.

Indeed, the VOR is a backup and I expect that the ILS will quickly
effectively become one with the WAAS setup.

Thanks

I'll have an Archer Nav antenna in each wing tip... already purchased
and on the shelf, so it looks like I can forgo the splitters. I've
got my fuse blocks and Trim Controller. I'll visit the Radio Shack
Aviation Department for the Ethernet Hub.

I'm trying to get as much work done as I can before I have to sink
the big dollars into the panel. Stein's spent a good chunk of time
on the phone with me (and he also stood behind his customers in the
great Chelton debacle), so he'll be getting my business. With that
in mind, does anyone know the sizes of the following items:

ARINC Converter
AFS AOA Processor
WX Receiver
Ammeter Shunt
Manifold Pressure Sender

One other question comes to mind. When you cut the hole in the sub
panel for the radio stack, are you simply creating an opening for the
racks to pass through (so the size of the opening is not precise) or
will you be supporting the racks back there (and thus need to be very
accurate with the size of the opening)?

Bill,

That's the setup I have. The only issue I have seen is that when the
fuselage is between the airport and the antenna, like when turning inbound,
the GS/LOC blanks out momentarily. I notice this when flying away from
KSNS, then turning 180 degrees to intercept the localizer. The GS/LOC flags
for a few seconds until the wingtip comes out from behind the fuselage.

I haven't done enough actual IFR to know if this is a big issue but in VFR
conditions it doesn't seem to matter much, especially since I know it will
come right back.

I grouned my Archer antenna to the wingtip attach screws. I understand that
anything less is sketchy.

Do you have a separate glideslope antenna? You can use one, but the Archer
will work for both nav and GS if you split it (430 needs seperate inputs).

If your AOA is incorporated into the 3500, there won't be an external box.
Your sense lines will plug right into the 3500. If you have the stand-alone
system with a separate display, the box is about 4 x 5 x 1.

Re cutting holes in the sub panel, on the advice of Stein I cut mine so that the bottom side of long components would be supported by the lower edge of the sub panel hole. He recommended leaving about a 1-1.5" gap on each side of components that pass through the sub panel so you can pull through cables and d-sub connectors.

The best thing about Fast Srack, IMHO, is the flexibility and
expandability, especially if you want to add on down the road.

If you are planning to do the panel yourself, checkout the Approach
FastStack product and service. For a DIY panel, FastStack is like
the QB option.
You get a fully customized wiring solution for your selection of
gear including a customer wiring harness, documentation, and the
FastStack box which makes it all work. The box is just an unpowered
junction box that makes all the inter-unit connections. Seems real
high quality and definitely done with a lot of avionics expertise by
Tim Haas.

You still end up making all the decisions about what to mount where,
putting together a power distribution paln, and doing the power
wiring but the inter-box connections are all designed and done for
you. Price on the unit and the avionics stack was very right too.
Very flexible and knowledgeable service.

I haven't finished it yet so I can't actually comment on the final
product but it certainly made doing it myself a much faster and I
believe a more reliable panel. Very happy so far.

You will be very disappointed with the COM performance as COM antennas
are supposed to be vertically polarized.

YMMV

Do not archive

Hey Bob,

I'm hoping I can split the one Archer because I have my second Com
antenna in the other tip.

Indeed, the VOR is a backup and I expect that the ILS will quickly
effectively become one with the WAAS setup.

Thanks
