From: "andymeyer" This is continuing to be a really good journey. My philosophy is shifting from how I've flown for years based on what I'm learning here towards what's in Z101. I am likely going to go dual battery to support the secondary ignition, but have the ability to add the secondary alternator at a later time. The weight won't hurt me in the nose as I'm on the back of the CG envelope right now - the second alternator will, if it will fit at all. (Long EZ...) Clearance/Aux bus will get the brownout booster. Very light loads on that bus. (AV30E (.5A operational) + Engine Monitor (~.3 A) + IFD (4.4A + 6.5A (xmit'ing) operational). I shouldn't be transmitting when cranking. I may just take the connections from the brownout booster to PWR2 on both the IFD and Garmin GDU (this keeps the brownout from carrying the comm). Why is the wire from the Main power bus to the master switch 20FLW, to 16 AWG, to 20AWG? On the engine bus - if I'm feeding a single ignition at < 5A, Do I need the relay and all, or can I just switch and fuse it? I do understand the push for the second alternator... I may do it if I can fit it in due time. Bob, Great work in converting another pilot/builder (and maybe a few more) and to your years of great work and service to us builders and pilots... Thank you!
