Subject: | 914 Battery Locations |
Gidday all,
Before I put the top on I have the decision, where do I put my battery for my
914 powered beast? It seems under the parcel shelf accessed through the two seat
pan panels, or right down the back just forward of the tail plane bulkhead.
Could I please ask for any advice or input, and I do wish to be able to have,
worst case 180 kg in the seats, and close to zero fuel in the tank, and still
be in CoG, with an Airmaster prop hanging off the front.
Thanks
Regards
Tony Renshaw

Hi! Tony,
Went through this mill with so many suggestions it was distressing. Take my
word for what its worth. Nearest the starter is the order of the day . That
is on top of the passenger foot well, which puts you within about 12 inches
of the starter.
I had two Odessy batteries wired in parallel and used a solenoid arrangement
to power up the whole system.
Although I did have the foresight to get the uprated Rotax starter it never
took more than a dab on the starter button and none of the horrible wing
flapping so often heard on other systems. I tried your suggestion
.....behind the P1 seat under the luggage bay and had zero success. In fact
I became so pissed off I disregarded all other suggestions and decided to
use my own brains and bingo. However the solenoid mustn't be left ON over
night because it drains about two amps ......and continuously over say 12
hours then it will flatten the batteries. As far as C of G issues then just
remember if you can't start the bloody engine you are going no where anyway!
Best Wishes
Bob Harrison .

Tony,
I was pushed to clean up my body shop composite finishing notes into a .pdf for
building techniques.
In a nutshell, UV Smooth Prime is OK for the prep for most but can be a nightmare
for the professional painter. Please go to my techniques section on my website.
There I give my three methods we learned and my preferred method of glazing.
It is faster and speeds the process from initial fill to ready for final
paint.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly

Tony,
If CG is a concern with the 914/Airmaster combination and a heavier instrument
panel is planned then the footwell installation may be a bit far forward for a
AGM battery. I put my TCU in a cover on the stbd. foot well. So my battery
is in the rear. CG is right at 60 inches on my trigear. Most of my planes have
the battery in the rear.
Many photos of one of my installations are available but not for the forum format
due to size and number. Contact me at budyerly@msn.com and we'll do a package
of photos for you to get some ideas if you go to a battery box in the rear
method.
If you use Dropbox, it is easier than normal on line attachments to send larger
photo packages.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly
