I apologize. I should have had more patience / faith when I tried Navigator a couple of times and it did not work. I must have hit it when it was down for maintenance. I think that it works fine and have no complaints with the present configuration. Many thanks for your continuing support to our homebuilder community.

Is there a reason why the right mag switch is a 2-5 (on)-off-on switch like the left mag? The momentary position on the left mag switch is for starter engage, but shouldn't the right mag switch be a 2-3 on-on instead? No un-used momentary position and half the price. Or am I missing something? One of these months, I'm going to get my wiring finalized so I can start running wires...Grrrrr Mitch Faatz RV-6A Finish Kit Auburn, CA ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:19:15 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: ANL-30? From: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" Bob, I notice that the various Z drawings show different protection schemes for the SD-20 alternator. Some use an ANL30 and others show fusable link. I'd prefer to use an ANL type fuse/holder over a fusable link but can't seem to locate them as small as ANL30. I found some email in the archives that indicated that they were available through either your website or B&C's but the smallest shown on B&C's was ANL40. What's the current thinking? Thanks.

Look at their "Series 498 MidiFuse" fuseholder & fuse line. See below. http://www.littelfuse.com/cgi-bin/r.cgi/prod_series.html?LFSESSION=j7vz9gQyVS&SeriesID=153 http://www.littelfuse.com/data/en/Data_Sheets/498.pdf http://www.littelfuse.com/data/en/Time_Curve/498.tc.pdf http://www.littelfuse.com/cgi-bin/r.cgi/prod_parts.html?LFSESSION=j7vz9gQyVS&PartID=1726 These fuseholders come with a fully insulated cover, unlike the exposed Amp ANL series fuse holders. The Series 498 are also physically more compact.

But a little note on starter mag switches. On most light aircraft, the right mag is isolated during the start to allow the impulse coupling on the left mag to fire without causing kick back from the right mag during the start. Hope this helps.

Nuckolls, III" I did that so that the "normal", in flight position for the two ignition switches was the same. Yes, there's an unused momentary on position on one switch but it seemed better to have both switches DOWN for OFF and both swtiches MID for ON . . . it's a human factors thingy.

The smaller b-lead fuses could also make use of the MAXI series fuses sold in automotive parts houses. They also have robust, inline holders for these fuses. Bob . . .
