I don't know how much ele ctrical demand that you have for your plane. It would be better to have the 30 amp fuse vs over sizing the protective device witha 40 amp. You could p ut a amp meter in series with the fuse temporarly and turn everything on. I t will give you a insight as to what kind of electrical load you have.

To date I have only landed with the first notch of flap and would like to start working with the second or full, my hesitation is that I feel I may run out of elevator.
