What kind of structure would be 'home' for the ground block? Where is the battery installed and how does the factory recommend ground it? Given the simplicity of this airplane, I'm not sure the big forest of tabs product is needed/appropriate for your project. For an airplane like a Sonex, perhaps a ground system like this is more appropriate? You're not going to have any high current, noisy loads. Remotely located accessories using local airframe grounds will still be serviced. Single point ground for avionics is easily managed with the simpler, lighter avionics ground techniques discussed on the website and here on the List. Bob . . .
