    Subject: attitude indicator on E-Buss or Main Buss??
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Julia <wings97302@yahoo.com> would the ELECTRIC attitude indicator go on the e-buss or main? if on the e-buss and I don't have a switch for it - then if in VFR with failed alternator - I would not need it yet it would be running and so draining the battery? How about the electric booster pump - main buss or e-buss?? should the comm/gps/transponder all go on the e-buss- they all have indipendend on/off switches on them - so if not needed, I could shut them off. Would it also be a good idea not to put the attitude indicator and turn coordinator on the same fuse?? - I would think one would want both on the e-buss?? I'd like NOT to have another switch - how can I avoid one for the attitude indicator. I'm of the understanding that I ask myself "is it essential for the completion of the flight" if so I put it on the e-buss. Well then I would think instrument lights, radios, gps,electric booster pump, attitude indicator, would all go on the e-buss - am I right here?? I'm having troubles located B&C Electrical - the company Bob used to own - what's their website thanks ---------------------------------

    Subject: attitude indicator on E-Buss or Main Buss??
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "James E. Clark" <james@nextupventures.com> Comments (OPINIONS) below ... James [snip] > > would the ELECTRIC attitude indicator go on the e-buss or main? I think the basic idea is if you NEED it to get home safely in the conditions under which you might fly then put it there. > if on the e-buss and I don't have a switch for it - then if in > VFR with failed alternator - I would not need it yet it would be > running and so draining the battery? There should be adequate battery to run the things you **REALLY NEED** to get home for the period that you feel you would have to stay in the air under the conditions for which you fly. In other words determine what is gonna be your limits. - Wanna run til the tanks are dry? then you will need say 4 hours in an RV of "battery time". The more stuff you hang out there, the bigger the battery. - Want to use a particular battery? Then that says how much "juice" you have to work with ... limit things to fit how long you will need to be in the air. - Will "never" be more than 30 minutes from an airport? Then with a particular battery and a particular mix of "things" you can fit. I think you will find that Bob (and others) would suggest that you make the list of stuff you will have in the plane and then determine which of that is REQUIRED to get home. Next do a "load" analysis, i.e. mark down what the current consumption is for each item. Determine how long you will want to be upor determine the battery and you will be told how long you can stay up. If this works, you're done. If not, change the "required" list or the battery or the time you want to be up and reiterate. So you see there is no fixed answer. "It depends" on your preferences, but there is a "process" that you can use. > > How about the electric booster pump - main buss or e-buss?? Your call but I would not. It is NOT required to fly me home (unless of course the engine mechanical pump fails [in a low wing]). You probably would not have had it on when the alternator failed anyway unless you were climbing out. > > should the comm/gps/transponder all go on the e-buss- they all > have indipendend on/off switches on them - so if not needed, I > could shut them off. Which ones do **you** need to get home safely? The less you have on the "E-Buss", the longer the endurance and/or the smaller the battery required. Opinon ... the transponder does not help as much with 1) aviate, 2) navigate, 3) communicate. Doesn't generate lift, doesn't show me the way home, and doesn't do that much for the communication of the problem I have as it doesn't have voice, even though once I tell ATC I have a problem, if all else is well, I don't plan to talk much more. > > Would it also be a good idea not to put the attitude indicator > and turn coordinator on the same fuse?? - I would think one I would NOT. Your call. The last thing I want is to have a FAULTY turn coordinator fry the fuse and then take out my PERFECTLY healthy AI that I was hoping to be able to depend upon to help get me home (assuming there might have been some visibility issues). > would want both on the e-buss?? If I had power limitations, I would do at least one ... t he one I would want to depend upon in a crunch. > I'd like NOT to have another switch - how can I avoid one for the > attitude indicator. > Why a switch??? > I'm of the understanding that I ask myself "is it essential for > the completion of the flight" if so I put it on the e-buss. > Well then I would think instrument lights, radios, gps,electric > booster pump, attitude indicator, would all go on the e-buss - am > I right here?? See commentay above. It's your call. No "right" or "wrong" answer. Different "opinions" from many and some solid facts and experience from a few. I am in the "opinion" category. ;-) > > I'm having troubles located B&C Electrical - the company Bob used > to own - what's their website > thanks Try: http://www.bandc.biz/ or http://www.bandc.info/ James RV6 flying RV6A-QB under long term construction

    Subject: connectors on AML34
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Troy Scott" <tscott1217@bellsouth.net> Gentlemen, The red fast-on connectors from B&C seem to fit very well on the Honeywell/Micro Switch AML34 rocker switches, but they are really difficult to pull off once installed. Is this hardware meant to work together, or does it just happen to work? Regards, Troy Scott tscott1217@bellsouth.net
