I doesn't seem like a good idea to me. If I understand correctly, in this
situation you would want to allow at least 35A and possibly a bit more for
"spikes"?~

Hello and Merry Christmas everyone,
I hope this is an appropriate question for this form. I am getting
ready to close the VS, and the wires for the tail light strobe need to be
run through the VS first.
Can anyone give me a heads up on how this should be accomplished? I
have a Whelen system 6.
I've been lurking for the past 6 months and have found that the
learning curve will be this side of vertical. Wiring this bird will be more
intimidating that the construction. Thanks in advance for the help.
Paul

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me either. A piece of fibreglass
sleeving can be expected to contain the wreckage and prevent further
shorting from a melted 26 awg fuse link but I don't think I'd count on
that for 12 awg. That is a lot more heat and molten metal. The only
heavy gauge fuse link on my car is completely contained within the fuse
block and both ends terminate at a solid terminal. Fuse links won't be
fast acting like a fuse. Another option might be the MAXI fuses
mentioned here a week or three ago.
I have found the 26 awg fuselinks handy for branching out from a heavy
circuit to small gauge wire. For example this morning I used one at the
crossfeed contactor coil to feed a 22 awg wire out to the indicator light.

Do you mean the strobe on the rudder? If so, don't even worry about it
now -- the wiring doesn't go through the VS proper, just its spar.
If you're talking about a strobe on TOP of the VS, yeah, you'd need to wire
that, but I'd recommend against it. That thing will be flashing right into
the cockpit.
My recommendation is to go with a rudder-mounted strobe/position light. The
wire will pass through the tailcone of the fuselage and poke through the
very bottom of the VS spar where it attaches to the fuselage. You don't
have to do anything about it at this phase.
The only thing you might want to do is put some grommets or snap bushings in
the VS ribs in case you need to wire something through there later. If I
were doing my project over again I'd consider mounting a camera in the tip
on top of the VS. ;-)
Best of luck,

Fusible links are not appropriate for this kind
of service.
Check with local automotive parts suppliers for a
MAXI series plastic fuse in at least 40A and 50A
better yet. This installs in a HHX fuseholder like

Good call.

This is an excellent example of good fusible link usage.

Please DO be critical . . . those drawings have been posted
for quite some time and you're the first to pick up on the
errors. Thank you!
I've correct the drawings and posted them at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Flight/Flaps/Flaps.pdf
I appreciate your diligence and time to bring this to my
attention.
