Hi Bob,
Thanks for your answer.

Not, fortunately!

MCR SPORTSTER flies, takes off, land and climb in all flaps configurations.
I would have to think I made an error by putting my question.

And it is even truer with two S704-1!!!!!
And I make http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/flaps.pdf mine !

Listers
I'm thinking of using the Van's style windscreen mounted comm's antenna. At $7
I assume it can only be a BNC bulkhead connector and a length of self adhisive
copper tape. As I have both items to hand in my tool box this could be a very
economic route to take. Could anyone who has installed one confirm my assumption
and does the installation perform sarisfactorily.

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
I'm wiring my LightSpeed coils, which are mounted aft on top of my IO-360's
case. Trouble is, there's very little clearance (about 1/2") between the
terminals on the coils and the rear baffle wall. The issue this raises is
that I'm not comfortable using traditional straight fast-on connectors,
since the wires would have to bend sharply immediately behind the connector.
So I've been looking for "flag" style fast-ons. The one I found is a Molex
19006-0001: http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/190060001_sd.pdf
From what I've read in the archives, these flag connectors cannot be crimped
using my run of the mill red/blue/yellow ratcheting crimper, but rather
require crimpers that cost hundreds. I've only got 4 of these puppies to
crimp, so it's um...difficult...to justify spending hundreds if there's
another option.
If there's a better or alternative technique for sharply right-angling wires
at the fast-on, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

Dan,
I haven't fit the baffles or wired the Lightspeed yet, but for some reason I
mounted the coils with the connectors pointed forward. Would that let you
make a bigger radius turn and put less stress on the connector?

I'm brand new to the list, looking forward to learning. I'm building a
Zenith CH601XL, and I knew I was electrically challenged, just didn't know
it would be so telling so soon. I need to know what the best materials and
method are for grounding to the aluminum airframe, so I can install my fuel
sender in the most permanent and fail-safe way. By the way, I have really
enjoyed my forst time through the Aeroelectric Connection, and plan to read
it over again and again until I really understand the wealth of information.
Thanks!

Oops, I just looked at my coils and my answer doesn't make sense. I was
thinking about the banana plugs instead of the fastons. Sorry.

With the .250" terminals pointing forward, there wouldn't be enough room for
the spark plug wires to attach on the back.
Thanks for the suggestion, though,

Trust me, I tried to come up with a way to do it that way, moving the coils
forward. Problem is I've got the flow divider and distribution lines
spanning the top of the case right there, and I can't move the coils forward
without performing surgery on the injector lines (undesirable, last resort).
Jim Jewell sent me email showing me how he ground down his ratcheting
crimper (same one I have) to accommodate the flag connector without damaging
it. I think I might give that a try if nothing else pops up.
Thanks again, everybody!

Hello Nick, Instead why not go for electrically heated clothing like the
motorcycle types use? Several advantages: weight, portability, availability,
flexibility, style, ease of installation, electrical efficiency, body coverage,
etc. etc.
See <<www.gerbing.com>> for one source. Visit a motorcycle place or google
search for more ideas.

Could you check the link you posted for the seat warmers. It seems incorrect.
