I am planning an installation based on figure Z-20. I have been checking on availability
of suitable capacitors. I can find only two types - one has PCB mount
pins, the other (at about 4 times the price) has screw terminals. Neither comes
with any form of mounting bracket. What methods have other people used to
physically mount the capacitors? I am a little concerned that if is just use a
metal strap, for example, to mount it on the firewall, it might in time wear
through the plastic sleeve.

Use the one with screw terminals. Put
a buffer between the clamp and capacitor
body like the "adel" clamps. In fact,
an MS21919DG clamp of the appropriate
size is idea for this task.

Yes, I recall the conversation. You can place an
order for the book at:
https://matronics.com/aeroelectric/Catalog/AECcatalog.html
The book is also available from several
dealers namely:
http://steinair.com
http://bandc.biz
http://buildersbooks.com/
Suggest you cruise over the website at:
http://aeroelectric.com/
. . . not necessarily to read in detail
but to get sense of what's there. When
you get the book, do the same thing.
When you've oriented yourself as to
what data is stored where, get on the
List and pose questions. There
are about 1500 folks here with goals
just like yours.
Welcome to the List!

Hi Richard,
I can't seem to locate it on "thepiratebay.org" using their search
function. What did you list it as?
Thanks,

Went to the site, input credit card number and saw a loadtester and some shunts.
Do I need the loadmaster? If I need the loadmaster, then do I need shunt?Since
I don't really understand shunts that well,(Understand is an overcurrent dump),
what size dump do I need.
Zodiac 601xl, with jab3300
Current plans:
Dynon d100
I-k technologies ems
Dual landing and dual taxi lights
Dual electric trim tabs
Electric flaps. Funky motor- get to that at later time, I think I will need
to change it out. It came with previously owned kit.
If you could recommend whether I need a loadmaster, what shunt if needed I will
order imediately.

I am leaning toward the d-100 and I-K tech ems. Would I still need an altimeter
and airspeed backup?
Does the equation change with night flight?

Don,
Whoa! Slow down. Take adeep breath. Your enthusiasm is something we have all experienced
but make a list after reading the book and think about it for awhile.
If you don't you will have a box full of parts that you thought you needed and
will never use. Ask me how I Know.
If you have a Dynon that is all you need. But what do you want. It is your airplane.
Make a wish list then do a reality check.

Heed Michael's advice well.
The clip pictures of what you *think* you want and tape them to a
cardboard mockup of your panel. Get some hangar flying in. Actually
reach out and act like you're modifying the controls. Go through your
checklist. You will find out what you thought you'd like in theory
isn't the same as in practice. Move stuff around and repeat the
process. Keep at it until you know that every pilot who sit in your
cockpit will envy you.

| Subject: | Nav/Com Antenna position |
I read somewhere that it was recommended to leave a few feet between
NAV/COM antennas and GPS antennas.
This would mean that a typical Cessna doesn't meet the
recommendations, since many have a NAV/COM on each side of the cabin
roof and the GPS antenna in between.
Is this an important recommendation I should attempt to achieve ?
I could put the NAV/COM antennas outboard of the high wing fuel tanks,
giving me about 12 feet between them, but at a cost of longer cables
and future difficulty if they ever need replacement.
What is the best positioning for these antennas on a high wing all
aluminmum aircraft ?
Thanks,
Jeff Page
