Also true, but I never mentioned that you should take your screwdriver out to the
tie down and remove your headlight. You also don't need the latest HID gadget
to be safe. Strobes were designed for that reason. Do you know what your dinky
headlight looks like when you fly over a metropolitan center at night? Like
every other light.
As an example, go out to you local airport one night after dark, sit there for
3 hours and tell me how many GA flights come in - try not to fall asleep counting.
Regardless of whether you are flying VFR, IFR or in combination with FLIR, your
first and last job is to see and avoid. Anything that helps you see and avoid
will help you and others.

I am looking for opinions on my method for connecting wires to the buses. The
top two rows in the photo are my main buss breakers. The big nut at the top is
the 6 awg wire from the battery relay, it is just the lug now. The short wire
labeled P13 is how I connect the top bus bar to the middle bar. This wire
is only 8 awg, I am not sure this is OK since the main feed is a 6 awg wire.
I am using 6 awg based Aeroelectric DWG, but I am guessing I could get away with
8 awg, it is only about 3 feet from the contactor to the bus. I will run wire
from the 8 awg wire where you see it clamped, to the diode on the black heat
sink then to the bottom bus bar which is my essential bus.
Please give me feedback and pointers, I want to know if I am on the right track.
This panel will sit by my right leg along the sloped console of the RV-8A.
I used a castle nut because for a temporary install it is easier to work with.
I am using a AN4 bolt because that is the smallest size lug I could find for
the 6 awg wire.

8AWG is fine for this task. But I want to remind
my readers that ALL wire sizes cited on AEC
drawings should be evaluated for your particular
load analysis tempered by practical decisions.
What you've got will be fine but the wire sizes,
while illustrated in the ARCHITCTURE drawings may
not be the optimum or practical size.

McMaster-Carr has small quantities of your
odd size terminal needs. A 6AWG terminal for
#10 stud is catalog number 7113K365.

Bob,
Thank you for the information. When you say 8 AWG is fine I assume you mean the
short jumper to the middle bus. I was planning 6 AWG as the main power feed
to the bus since I will have a 60 amp alternator. I was thinking I could get
by with 8 AWG since my typical load from my load analysis is only 20-25 amps
and only gets to 47 amps in a night IFR situation.
My harness kit from Van's came with 8AWG for the supply to the bus but I was not
sure I should use it since my plane has more electrical gadgets than the Van's
basic electrical plan contains.
Is my logic flawed going up to 6 AWG for my application, should I just use the
8 AWG since I should be under the 57 amp max for that size wire?
Cheers

Well of course. But most midairs happen in or near the pattern and the
landing lights are definitely visible in that environment.
Can you run the landing lights and flir at the same time or does it
wash out the picture ?

One of the features is that the camera is oblivious to direct light, even the sun.
No impact. You can keep your eyes outside and just confirm through the display.
Awfully good for finding that pattern traffic and even spotting those deer
trying to ruin your landing.
There are several videos on you tube which provide an example. Check out the one
coming into Aspen. Pretty phenomenal. Imagine taking off to the east from Aspen
on a dark night (somewhat unusual) and seeing every pebble out there.

Having hit a deer landing on my home strip a couple of months ago, the
whole concept has traction here.
BTW, I hit and killed the little dear with my main gear while deep in
the flare landing at dusk. Ironically, I had taken off an hour earlier
from a hard surface strip with a herd of deer feeding on the grass
crosswind strip (between 2 deer stands). I was all eyes when landing at
home and it didn't make a bit of difference.

Deer are ruthless in their attacks. I personally know 5 people who were
attacked by deer using a flanking attack method. In all these cases the
deer waited until the front of the vehicle had passed and then rammed
into the side of the vehicle. An attack that is impossible to counter.
I will be using a pasture in front of my house eventually, and deer are
my biggest fear. They are impossible to predict.

Amen to that. They are like giant rats down here in NJ.

| Subject: | Re: Tachometer Generator Wiring |
Bob:
One other item, the tach gen turns at half of the engine rpm. So, the signal from
the tach gen would need to be fully rectified to make this work (for me to
get enough pulses per revolution as 1 ppr is the lowest recognized by the EFIS
system).
If the tach gen signal is 20 VRMS as you mentioned, is there a simple rectifier
circuit you'd recommend?
This should finish the work on this tach issue.
Thanks Bob,
Craig

Bob:
You mentioned Dacron lacing as a good alternative to high temp wire ties in the
engine compartment. Is there a good place to get the material and where would
I find a tutorial on how to lace?

| Subject: | Data output from a Garmin 496 |
My Garmin 496 and Electronics International Fuel Flow Gauge (FP5L)
aren't on speaking terms! I'd like to talk to anyone who has
successfully made these two work together.
My Garmin is driving my TruTrac autopilot okay. The output line from the
Garmin is split off to both instruments. I've checked the conductivity
of the wiring from plug to plug and it's good.
I would really like to hear from anyone using these same three
instruments but if you just have the 496 talking to the FP5L that would
help too.
Thanks,
