But I purchased a Zenith aircraft with this engine and want to make the plane as safe as I can. The engine is an "aircraftized" Honda Fit with fuel injection. Since the engine will stop is a fuel pump fails Jan Eggenfeller specified duel redundant fuel pumps and the ability to switch pumps. However, there are no previsions for a duel battery circuit or a way to isolate the battery in case of an alternator fault. I would like to install two batteries that are both charged from the 55-Amp alternator and also be able to select the battery that powers the plane's electricals and to isolate the batteries by disconnecting a faulty alternator in flight. I previously built a plane with a Rotax 912 using your wiring diagram, (after attending your great seminar). The Rotax diagram had battery isolation capabilities and was wondering of any of your wiring diagrams describe how to do this for my Viking engine or, if not, can you explain how I can do this properly or at least specify the diodes I need to install in the attached diagram. Thank you for your help, Les Goldner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
