Heat shrink will increase the diameter of the assembly to
an extent that will prevent the pin from being inserted
into the connector. Heat shrink is not necessary on
crimped connectors. If you're concerned about mechanical
support, you can put a back shell on the connector.
However, a string tie or tye-wrap on the wire bundle
within an inch or so of the connector body stiffens up
the wire bundle to provide adequate support.

I'm sure I wasn't THAT dingy while crafting this response
last night. I've had problems in the past where some of
my cut-n-paste edits didn't go to file as displayed on
the screen thus producing strange holes in the finished
text. Anywho, I hope the spirit and intent came across
okay.

Definitely. I hope it helps those that are prone to shouting understand
that doing so in email form isn't any more effective than when sitting in
the same room.
Thanks again for all of the technical support, and for the occasional
rational mediation. I am happier with my airplane because of the
knowledge that I have gained from this forum. And I am certain that
others have been equally well served.

Gang,
As I understand it, most of the great minds of the 20th century really
enjoyed sitting around a kitchen table, arguing the fine points of their
specialties with their peers. I'm sure sure everyone gained in the process.
I'm equally sure the debate got heated at times, with "prove it" being the
classic challenge.

In our buisness we call that skywiring and we try to avoid it if possible.
although I do not see a problem with what you are doing.
Here are my suggestions:
You may want to make the switch wires longer and ty them to the panel
somehow or even tywrap them to the switch and loop them back to make the
connection. Try to make the branches off the main trunk for two or more
switches each. If you had to reach up behind the panel this would give you a
little more room to get your hand by. another way I seen is to put a peice
of heat shrink on the 6" branch for neatness. This looks better than using
small tywraps or lacing cord.

Guys, FYI, if anyone else is interested in contacting Bernie Hayes about the electric

I work with him and forwarded his comments to the List yesterday, but he
is not on the List and if you reply to yesterday's message you'll be sending

thanks, Ron, that's a great reply and pretty much what I was looking for. Is
it better to run the bundle just behind the switches leaving it supported
only by the switches, but with very short runs to the connectors? I've
checked several web sites since I posted my query and have seen what look to
be bundles right behind the row of switches with perhaps the only support at
the start of the run behind the row. Does this make any sense?
I could probably make this modification if it is a clearly more acceptable
(read more durable) way to do it.
I really appreciate your input.

Robert
This is what I would do.
If you could come on to the switch panel from one side and run the wires
either over the top or underneath the switches that would be good. If the
switch panel can be removed try and make it so that you can pull this panel
off to work on it with out taking the wires off. I would try not to use the
switches for support of the wiring bundle if possible. Use Adel clamps,
wallmounts etc. Try this catalog they have all kinds of mounts you can use.
Branch the wires out at each switch aprox 4" long and put on your lugs. Make
sure that this service loop will allow you to change these lugs a couple of
times if needed. Make all the branched wires the same length for looks.

That what I did on my AP wiring and it worked out nice. I put 1/4"
flex-sleeve on the entire bundle. It made a 10', 7-wire bundle very
manageable and clean looking. Without it it was chaos.

Hey guys, let these things sit on your computers a minute before you click
SEND and I'll bet most of them don't get sent at all.
"Old Bob" asked if folks wanted his repeated discussion on the T&B vs. TC
debate.
Folks said yes, so he re-posted it.
Not a problem for anyone, IMHO.
As for the "Go ahead, make my day" line from the OTHER Bob, if you think
it's arrogant, you obviously don't get it at all.
Bob (Nuckolls) enjoys nothing more than having someone show him if/when he's
wrong, and that's why he says that. It really does make his day.
It's not arrogance, though he would have the right to be so. I've never met
anyone who knows so much about a subject who is so willing to explain and
support his opinions, and identify them as such, WITHOUT being arrogant.
And he does it all for free. I, for one, greatly appreciate what he, and
others here, post for us all to wade through.
As for the "off topic" posts, that's not nearly as annoying to me as the
endless complaining about the occasional "off topic" posts. And the
endless, indiscriminate "quoting" of messages one is responding to. (One
list a week or so ago was over 75% "quoted" material.) I dug through it and
deleted the "chaff".
If something on this list bugs you, just delete it. Just like this message.
And you can have back the money you paid for mine...
And yes, lighten up, "all y'all"... There's far too much good info here
(among the other) to chase so many knowledgeable folks away.

What the heck, we are now getting health and academic reports from all
over, why not some discussion about something that is at least an electrical
component in an airplane. God, we have had all kinds of topics here. At one
point some non-aircraft related software topics dominated days of the list.
Arrogance? GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY, SHOW ME WHERE I"M WRONG! Wow, is that
genuine arrogance or what? I could point out hundreds of mistakes made here
on this site and related literature but I don't feel as though I need to rub
anyone's nose in it. Mistakes are made by EVERYONE. This list is frequented
by some of the most arrogant, pompous, know-it-all individuals that I have
ever had the displeasure of reading. It seems as though someone is always
looking for an argument and/or a fight at this list. Simple suggestions or
opinions are met with arrogant, discourteous responses because they have not
been supported and backed up by scienticific fact. Opinions offered by some
individuals here are offered as gospel and to disagree with them or to offer
alternatives only opens one up to more arrogant responses. One only needs to
go back and read some of the past posts to verify this.
Fortunatly, there are still some intelligent, courteous, non-arrogant
and genuine opinions that people such as "Old Bob" can contribute.
And, N919RV, just who DO you think is responsible for the mentioned
pilot differences noted by "Old Bob"? Never mind I don't want your OPINION
unless you can back it up with hard data. I don't think Denny was arrogant
or rude at all, he simply asks a question. He did not state his opinion that
it was "old Bob's" fault. You interpreted Denny's question for him. If Denny
wanted to say he thought it was Bob's fault, he probably would have said
just that.
How about some discussion about some of the solid state gyro's from people
like the Icarus/IPAQ. Will these replace the dreaded T/C and AI?
Lighten up yourself N919RV,
see ya later, ha, ha, ha,

| Subject: | Wig-Wag switching |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Frank Smidler <smidler@dcwi.com>
I have been looking at Bobs schmatics for Wig-Wag and I was wondering if it is
feasable on the third
layout to split the 4LT1-10 switch into tow 2-10 switches, one for taxi and one
for landing lights.
The idea is to be able to have both lights on, just the taxi light, wig-wag or
off with only two
switches. I prefer not to use three switches as on the first layout to save panel
room.
As I see it only when BOTH switches are at the center will wig-wag work. If the
taxi switch is up
then it will be on, no matter what position the landing lt switch is at and visa-versa.
I came to
this conclusion based on Note #1 that states both 2 & 3 pins of the SSF-1 flasher
must be loaded to
a lamp in order for it to actually flash.
The only reason I am looking at seperating the taxi and landing light is that I
have a tail dragging
RV-6 that I am assuming I will have to adjust the taxi light different then the
landing light. The
second assumption I am making is that I will need to turn off the landing light
on the ground since
it will be pointing up and may blind other pilots. Are these valid assumptions?
Any comments would be appreciated.

| Subject: | Position Lt and Inst Lt Switches |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Frank Smidler <smidler@dcwi.com>
Has anyone set up a single switch to turn on both the position lights and the instrument
lights
(still two circuits)? I am thinking of doing this with a 2-2 switch but I would
like to hear of any
down side to doing it, such as a need to shut off the instrument lights when the
position lights are
on. I will state that I plan on utilizing an AEC dimmer on the instrument light
circuit. This is
another attempt to simplify the instrument panel and to save space.
While we are on the subject, I am assuming that the AEC dimmer does not have an
off function.
Thank You
