(graeme bird) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 01:21:06 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Choice of circuit breaker, where to install radio modules? From: "graeme bird" As an ex UK MOD avionic/electronics apprentice, I used Raychem wire, 18AWG for power and 22AWG for signal (farmel 134-892) I used white wire with small plastic coloured/numbered sleeves on the ends for identification. I used reasonable quality (gold turned pin) solder D connectors with sleeves on the terminals to go through the bulkheads and connect the dash to other wiring but in retrospect crimped would have been better. Where possible I used crimped ring terminals (the best quality I could afford) and made a 'quiet' and 'noisy' grounds and power using brass studs star points in the dash with very thick short wires through to the battery. I tie wrapped or laced the wires to form looms. I managed to get hold of some similarly insulated screened signal wire (4 wire) for sensitive bits like mic cables. I the breakers I used were standard industrial thermal magnetic pop out/reset types. I can't see a problem with where you intend to mount the radio. I think I would probably be more concerned with the routing of the mic wires than the loss in the feed to the antenna though. I sort to keep those short but then I used the Funkwerk integrated units. Surprised you want to move weight back. Mine would probably benefit from weight being moved forward - seems to fly better 2 up. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FFW 912S/Woodcomp 3000/3W Newby: 200 hours 4 years on the Mono g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=448277#448277 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-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/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-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.
