ELT antenna location
I am installing an ELT in my RV-6 aircraft. Since it has a plastic canopy,
it would seem that the antenna can be installed inside the fuselage under
the canopy. Are there any special rules regarding separation from metal
structure such as side walls? I am aware of the common requirements, i.e.
vertical orientation, closeness to other antennas, etc.
Thanks,

Hi Bob
Wiring a RV6A as per your Figure Z-11. It shows a 16 AWG wire supplying power
to the Main Battery Bus. The 16 AWG wire is suppose to be kept to a length of
six inches or less. My wire run is approximately 5 feet, thus I plan on using
14 AWG.
a.. Is this OK?
b.. Should I add a circuit breaker to this circuit and if so, will a 10A suffice?
Thanks in advance.
John

FWIW, I installed a standard 12V receptacle between the seats on my
Zenair 601 that's powered by my main bus through a guarded 3-position
switch in the guard-closed position. When you flip the guard up and
move the switch up one notch, the bus is disconnected and the receptacle
is wired to battery one through a 10A fuse. Flip it up again and it's
wired to battery two through the same fuse. I bought a 12V receptacle
adapter for my battery tender and use it to keep the batteries charged
during construction. It could also be used with a solar charger on the
ramp. It's not good for jump-starting, but it's sure convenient for
topping things off now. The switch is one of the standard ones Bob uses
that B a 2-10 if I recall. The 12V receptacle is a robust one
from a marine supply store and comes with a dust cover and fast-on tabs
in the back.
Initially I tried to figure out how to have the option of charging both
batteries at once, but couldn't figure out how to do that without tieing
the batteries together (not good for flight ops) or using diodes in the
charging circuit which drop the voltage too much. I did learn that my
battery tender with all it's microprocessor wisdom does not put out
enough current initially to pull a small relay closed. All that fun
made the simple version I ended up with seem just fine.

>If not, is there any standard connector >configuration for battery
maintenance ?? Or what would >a good choice be ?? Battery maintainers
are typically accurately controlled chargers of 2A or less output. Any
connector you might like to use will be fine. Protect the wiring from
maintainer jack to battery bus with a 3A fuse. Here's a good connector
you can find at Radio Shack.
