With the FWF complete (well, almost complete), a lot of the wiring done for ancillary systems (fuel pumps, lighting, antennas, etc.) I'm taking a hard look at the power side of things and have just ordered 35 feet of Super-4 fatwire, and am planning on dual Odyssey batteries. And I have a couple of the generic contactors which Acft. Spruce sells as Master Relays (p/n 111-226), purchased w/ the intention of using one at each battery. A pal...a savvy guy for MARINE electrical systems...has suggested that I use "latching relays" which, he sez, will add to flight safety. I've not seen any references to them in your discussion of battery contactors in your book, though you do include some cautionary words about proper installation and potential contactor failure. What do you have to say about "latching relays" functioning as battery contactors? Thanks in advance for any wisdom you can offer...I confess to be one of those airplane builders w/ scant knowledge of the electrical side of things, Fred ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:34:39 PM PST US From: Jim S Subject: AeroElectric-List: Avionics installation tools and supplies I hope this is allowed here - My project is over and someone on this list m ay need some of the things I have left over, now-for sale.
