I know my build is good (If only I could do something more robust to guard against human error). The cloud of uncertainty is a dark one. I have learned a lot about electronics problem solving and how contactors and diodes work in the system. Thanks for that. I also know I have an answer for the question, Grandad, what happens if you cross the battery terminals in your airplane. I offer to you all, as a sort of recompense for your support, a Robert Fulghum essay about jumper cables, page 128, in his book, All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten. It will surely bring out a chuckle as you read it! Cheers ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:54:47 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane out of that stuff?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
