Brian, thanks too for your comments and feedback. Thanks. It is nice to know that this "blind hog" occasionally finds an acorn. :-) -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brianl@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax) There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.

It performed flawlessly. And anyone contemplating a trip down to the Virgin Islands, I recommend stopping for fuel in Great Inagua, Bahamas, instead of Providenciales, Turks & Caicos. There are two reasons: 1. They didn't charge me any customs or handling fees in Great Inagua. Last time I went to Provo they charged me about $100 extra. They also charged me less for fuel than does the FBO in Provo. 2. The Department of Homeland Security allows you to go from the US to the Bahamas without a "wavier", something that takes 2 weeks to get for a trip to/from the Turks & Caicos. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brianl@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax) There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.

I find that the spec sheets on the web for an SL-30, or transponder , etc. tell me every thing but how much current they use steady state. Can anyone steer me to a place that can provide that information?

Per Aeroelectric figure Z-11, Bob puts a s*&% load of stuff on the e-bus and runs it all off a 7A fuse. What the heck? And the feed from the main bus, through the diode is on 16 GA wire (11A max). What am I missing? My layout is more like Z-11 for the all electric variety, but I would think that I need to size wire, fuses, switches, and diode for a situation where everything is on. Is this a difference in fuse ratings and actual loads? Thanks, Ross Schlotthauer www.experimentalair.com RV-7 wiring (head scratching) http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200361ave/direct/01/
