I purchased a flying Long-EZ and wish to upgrade the panel and rewire aircraft. I purchased the Aeroelectric Connection a number of years ago and wish to thank Bob for all of his work and for providing an electronic version as well (nice to not have to carry about the printed version). My current plan is to go with Z-13/8. I have an automotive alternator (one year old), will be removing the vacuum system and replacing it with a SD-8 and am going with ATC fuses. A box of bits arrived from B and C and I'm sure it won't be the last order. I'm researching alternators, feed wires to such, battery and starter contactors, regulators and where to position all of this. I'm also researching internal vs external regulation on my main alternator. I've been enjoying reading through the archives and wanted to thank everyone for their contributions to the list.

Welcome to the family Jeff! I think you'll be pleased with the level of assistance and encouragement you will receive from members of the List. It's among the busiest Lists on Matronics populated by folks interested in the best-we-know-how-to-do and love airplanes! Keep us apprised of your progress and questions.

Jones" LED Strip lighting is usually made for 12V systems. To convert this for 24/28 volt systems see the attached pdf. This is far better than using a stepdown supply or adding a load resistor. -------- Eric M.

One thing to remember is that the number of LED's in each of the strips must be the same or the one with less LEDs in it will be brighter, or even blow. Etienne On 28 Jul 2012, at 7:31 PM, Eric M.
