I submit the link below as evidence to the contrary. > http://www.instructables.com/id/A-Few-Insights-into-DIY-Projects-Communities-and-/#step1 I also hope it will inspire some readers to share their skills. An "Instructable" not only passes the skill to MANY other people but it makes it part of a non-centralized information archive by allowing anyone who is interested to download it to their computer and save it in their personal archive, AND easily share it with others at a later time. And now, back to out regularly scheduled program. :) Soapbox=off do not archive Raymond Julian Kettle River, MN ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:22:28 PM PST US From: "ROGER & JEAN CURTIS" Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: OT DIY - alive and well Soapbox=on I have ofter heard people on this and other lists comment that younger people don't seem to be interested in learning the skills necessary to do DIY projects or hobbies. Ray, Back when I was a kid (some 60+ years ago and counting) people said the same thing. Does it mean something???

I wired it with a 16 AWG and now I am second guessing that. Thanks, Dan ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:19:42 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

I >wired it with a 16 AWG and now I am second guessing that. This is one of the system's 'fat wires' and would normally be at least a 6AWG wire. Given the relatively small alternator (hence limits to main bus loads) then you could down size a tad but not much. How long is this wire and how does it route though the airplane?
