Hello Fred, Just a comment on the best location for mike and headphone jacks
for side by side cockpits arrived at after over 40 years plus of flying many,
many different aircraft / jack configurations.
Put the pilot's jacks behind the seat of the co pilot where the pilot can see
and reach them. Put the co pilot's jacks behind the seat of the pilot where
the co pilot can see and reach them. A slight head turn and a short reach
across the cockpit gives instant visibility and accessibility -- also no
cords dangling across the knees or laps and no plugs to bang with your knees
while seated or feet when getting in or out.
Sorry if this info is too late for you to implement.

Most battery contactors I've seen have the two large lugs and the smaller one for
the master switch.
The one you feature has two smaller terminals. http://www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/switch/s701-1l.jpg
What is the second one for? I'm talking about the terminal straddling the fusible
link and the diode.
Regards,
Sam

The two small terminals are the two ends of the contactor coil. The one end is
connected to the
battery via the red wire shown on the web page you cite above, the other end is
grounded via the
master switch to energize the contactor. The diode shorts the reverse current flow
induced when the
coil is switched off. Hope this helps clarify.

Anyone had experience with using a 12V / 10A car battery charger and building a
voltage doubler so you could use it with a 28V battery?
Thanks in advance.
