A couple of questions. How will you do a =9Cmag check=9D if the coils are always powered? Or is your switch going to provide only the ground? At least in the case of SDS, a switch for each coil pack is recommended. They do not recommend switching off the ECU for a mag check. One of my design goals was to be able to switch off the alternators and batteries to the main busses using lever lock type Honeywell TL mil-spec switches. Assuming at least one of the hot battery busses is powered (no switches, no relays/contactors) - the engine keeps running normally. Does anyone have any experience with the somewhat pricey but seemingly reliable and well built Gigavac MX series contactors? I realize they aren=99t available on the aviation aisle at NAPA, but I can always carry a spare. Lastly, what software are you guys using to draw your very nice electrical schematics? I=99m looking for something that doesn =99t have a steep learning curve that an old guy can pick up reasonably quickly. Thanks for the help and education.

I am on your side. The master switch should shut off all electrical power except to the engine. The engine bus should be supplied by two current paths. The pilot should have the ability to shut off all sources of electrical power as close to the sources as possible. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=494858#494858 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:38:12 AM PST US From: Robert Reed Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: Always hot power for fuel injectors and ignition coils Not a minority of two either.

That thing "gets to getting" pretty darned fast. That is extremely cool. That beast "gits to gittin" like right NOW. Has to be interesting to design for those kinds of accelerations. Very cool.
