I cycled it on and off several times while running the engine (via the circuit breaker) with no change in bus voltage. Jeff On 7/11/17 11:16 PM, Robert L.

From: "bcone1381" New Guy here....I am building a Bearhawk Patrol, and reading thru AeroElectric Connection for the second time. Following Bob's recommendations, I have started a "Wirebook" with a few Bus and system schematics. How do I bring together a safe and reliable aircraft electrical system from my wire book? I had a thought. Build a peg board mock up of my instrument panel and firewall with all the tubing that exists between the two, then assemble and wire all the switches, contractors, relays, Fuse Blocks, diodes, crow bars, D-sub connectors, fuses, and what not. I could add the electrical accessories as I acquire them... Maybe acquiring a few products at OSH this year? Seems like building a mock up is a good place to start help acquire the tools, and wiring skills. In the end I suppose I could wire up the avionics, antennas, and finalize the wire bundles then bench test the whole system prior to installation. Does this method seem prudent? What have others done?

From: Kent or Jackie Ashton Yes, that is a good approach but the big schnitzel to eat first is building the airplane. Bob has published a great resource. Avionics shops are usually happy to wire-up radios you buy from them. I have wired three airplanes; for me just installing stuff and running wires works OK. There are always things to figure out: shields, comm mic hi, comm mic lo, crimp or solder D-subs, RG-400 vs RG-400A vs RG-58, etc, but with the internet, the answers are readily available. Question is whether it is something youd really like to learn and do. -Kent > On Jul 12, 2017, at 4:53 PM, bcone1381 wrote: > > > New Guy here....I am building a Bearhawk Patrol, and reading thru AeroElectric Connection for the second time.
