In doing so the pilots lost the perspective of where they were. -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John Mireley Subject: AeroElectric-List: OT: Cockpit floors could become 'invisible' to assist pilots in landing. --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: John Mireley I can't imagine trying a landing while looking straight down at the runway. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030207/ap_on_fe_st/j apan_invisible_2 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:19:36 PM PST US From: John Schroeder Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: AeroElectric-List Digest: 34 Msgs - 01/07/03 --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: John Schroeder Jim - Buy the combo ground block from B&C and the hardware comes with it to join them together. You drill holes thru the firewall and mount them back-to-back with the studs, washers and nuts. The studs act like a wire/busbar.

They need to be offset by a foot. So, I have riveted the two sides into the most appropriate place for the application on the respective sides of the firewall. Is that OK or do I need to wire them together with 2AWG? - Jim > > Jim - > > Buy the combo ground block from B&C and the hardware comes with it to join them > together.

It has an internal voltage regulator. After a really bad overheating condition, the OV circuit breaker is tripping every time the engine starts running. Changing to the new "yellow lead" module didn't help. Can I assume the regulator is faulty. If so, can I run the wire from the alternator into an aftermarket regulator to fix this problem or do I need to purchase a whole new alternator? Thanks.
