Fuses do not necessarily have to be accessible in flight. It is a lot safer to trouble shoot when on the ground. An airliner crashed if Florida many years ago while the pilots were troubleshooting an indicator light. Two or more smaller fuse blocks can be wired in parallel instead of installing one large expensive one. Each electrical load should have its own fuse. Do NOT put two or more loads on one fuse. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=515386#515386 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:32:02 AM PST US From: Ken Ryan Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: opinions on product sought Thanks Joe.

I've got 3 fuse blocks, one with front attached wir es. However, that one is mounted in the rear baggage compartment with the b attery, so no issues with possibly snagging a wire with a foot or other obj ect.

The nice thing about building our own aircraft is that we can do it the way we want. Many times there is not right or wrong way, just different ways, a matter of personal preference. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=515393#515393 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
