Where can I get the connector that fits onto the mounting tray [fixed onto the
tray with a circlip] between the KT 76A transponder BNC and the aerial BNC connector
[joins these two].Any part numbers???? Cheers

| Subject: | Kitplanes article on solar power |
Hi guys
I am a Kitplanes subscriber, but I don't know my subscriber number,
therefore I cannot access Kitplanes back issues. I will get my web access
when I receive my next issue.
Meanwhile, I need to consult one particular article, which is Jim Weir's
article about solar power battery charging, which was published in the
January 2007 Kitplanes issue.
Can somebody of you who is (or was) a Kitplanes subscriber, please scan that
article, or access the web at kitplanes.com and get the pdf, and send it to
my email address.
Thanks in advance

| Subject: | P-mag Internal Power Test |
I am getting my wiring started and have a question on how some of you with P-Mags
wired your systems. There are two tests for th P-Mag as I understand things.
One is just like a traditional magneto check, you turn off (ground the p-lead)
and check for mag drop. The other check for a P-Mag is to turn off the
12v power to the P-Mag to check that the internal alternator keeps the magneto
running. The check of the internal alternator does not seem like something that
needs to be check each flight. I am considering just pulling the CB for each
P-Mag to make this check rather than wiring a switch to serve this purpose.
What have others done with regard to this, I don't want to use a switched breaker,
I will just add the switch if it is required. My thinking is to just pull
the breaker. We pull breaker on the B-767 at the end of each flight to turn
some equipment off while the plane sits between flights, so I don't think there
is an issue of waring out a breaker. Thanks for any pointers.

| Subject: | Re: P-mag Internal Power Test |
I used a normally-closed single-pole single-throw (momentarily opens against
spring) switch in series with the PMag 12V circuit breaker. That said - it
is YOUR plane and if YOU want it a certain way (and the inspector doesn't
object) - that's your choice (and risk). :-)
Got the switch from Mouser.

Thanks for the heads-up on this Sam. I've archived it
in a .pdf file and will mirror it to the website at the
next update.

This puppy has been around for many years. The tray
side is a Ted 9-30-10. There's a number of them on
Ebay right now.
Emacs!

I forgot that I'd fielded this question
some time back and posted pictures at:

What you've proposed is consistent with Emagair's
recommendations. In fact, Figure Z13/8 was crafted
with a similar philosophy.
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Adobe_Architecture_Pdfs/Z13-8Q.pdf
Note that with ship's power taken through
a fuse from the main bus, the internal power
source integrity can be verified occasionally
by checking engine operations on the p-mag while
the main bus is down. Easy to do under comfortable
conditions and only occasionally.

How does a BNC connector hook up with these connectors, like the end on a TED aerial???
