I had noisy and quiet power and return and alternator output. Really you want the battery to be the bus (but then my battery is in the FWFD). In the instrument panel again I wired to brass bolts on the ledge 2" from the bottom for ground star connections to low power instruments etc. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FWFD 912ULS/Warp drive FP Build nearing completion Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=339831#339831 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:22:57 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Crimping wires From: "graeme bird" I was interested in this topic but found it too cryptic to understand what you are actually saying.

The jig, when placed on the wing root, lines up with the indentation where the top wing skin would be, at the rear of the wing. I placed lately taped-in sticks at the rear of the wing, where the jig will be set, to simulate the top skin, in anticipation. The difference between both ways is only in the 1-2 mm area, but anyhoo.. Including spacers looks like it would -slightly- increase the reflex of the flap. Just trying to get a feel for what others have done, or interpreted this move. A short search on matronics did not eek out any results. Thanks in advance, Greg ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:55:18 PM PST US From: Fred Klein Subject: Europa-List: Merlin Music Taken at Duxford RAF and USAAC Museum in England. Two of the greatest WWII fighter planes of their era....the American P51 Mustang and the British Supermarine Spitfire. Both planes were powered by the powerful Rolls Royce Merlin engine......which emitted that wonderful sound that became known to many as 'The Sound of Freedom' during the 1940s. RR Merlin engine - V12- 27 litres (1650 cu in) The P-51 pilot does a great job staying in his position as he has more power and is faster than the spitfire. The P51 was powered by the Packard V-1650 version of the Merlin that was manufactured in the USA. They must have done more than a little practicing!!
