With this in mind, what is the best way to spec-out and set-up the ignition switches? I am referencing Z-13/8 AEC as the basis for my design. The Z-13 diagram shows an s700-1-3 and a s700-2-10. Perhaps a s700-2-50 would make more sense.

Should I be concerned about the strobe unit emitting noise that would in turn cause pulsations w/n the auto-pilot servo? The strobe power supply was installed early on without the pitch servo in mind. Build and learn... I have routed no wiring yet. Thanks!

I am interested in the best quality unit that will also coincide nicely with the AEC system designs (particulary Z-13/8). The options are as follows: --Plane Power 60A alternator with OV protection and internal regulation, or --B&C L-60 matched up with an LR3C-14. This will be an all electric IFR plane with one battery and SD-8 aux alternator. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

There are no effects emanating from the strobe supply that put the servo system at risk.

Is this preferred as compared to fuses? Obviously the breaker grants you at least an attempt to reset in flight... I am paralleling Z-13 with my design. Thanks!
