this has been MY rule of thumb
I try to put my electrical loads between 50 % and 75 % of the fuse rating....
example 1: a 3 amp fuse"
3 x .5 1.5
3 x .75 2.25
the protected circut should be between 1.5 and 2.25 amps.
Example 2: starting with a circut that uses 2.75 amps
2.75 / .5 5.5
2.75 / .75 3.67
fuse for 2.75 amp load should be between 3.67 and 5.5 amps. I would use a 5 amp....
Example 3: fuse for an altinator that produces 60 watts.
since watts amps x volts.... devide 60 watts by 12 volts and you have 5 amps
max output.....
5 / .5 10
5 / .75 6.67
the fuse should be between 6.67 and 10
putting a fuse on a radio is exactly the same only different
a radio will show 2 amp ratings.... 1 for listening, and 1 for transmitting......
the fuse has to be large enough to handle the transmitting loads.
maybe someone elce has a different idea.... and if the manufacture of a device
makes a recomendation, follow it.
1 more item that i could cover:
some devices have an inrush current that is different than the steady state amp
draw...
the best way to protect these devices is to put in a "slow blow" fuse... these
fuses will usually allow double the rated amp for 1 to 2 seconds before they
blow.... anything more than double the rating will blow it instantly and and
anything over the rating for longer than a couple of seconds will blow it...

Glad to see you got your first flight in yesterday. You are right the view
is unobstructed. Mine stalls at 38 IAS. I ended up putting an aileron trim
tab on the right to counter me in the left seat solo. Where did you end up
putting your HZ stab leading edge in relations to the boom tube?

Jim;
Funny you should ask! My HS leading edge is just above the center of the
boom tube as shown in the plans. I have the new brackets to change the location
but wanted to see how it fly's prior to any changes. Today I adjusted the
alienors a bit and am waiting for good weather again. Now that I know what to
expect from the bird I will fly in less than ideal conditions (a little breeze,
3 miles, and 1000 ft +/-)
I will probably need a trim tab also even though I put the battery to the
right side. Once I get lateral stability (or close) I'll work on the pitch (a
bit nose high right now). How was your original pitch attitude (first flight)
and what corrections were needed?
I used you prop setting numbers and set mine at 10 degrees. It seems good
for now and saved me some time. THANKS!

Paul,
I talked with Sandy at Grand Rapids today and found out the EIS updates the
screen 2 times per SECOND. Those are good folks at Grand Rapids, I have
talked with them several times. I put them right up there with Travis,
Dondi, and Jim.
The beauty of the EIS is the alarm feature. After you set the alarm limits
for min and max on all parameters the EIS will flash a red light if any
thing gets out of limits. In the event of an alarm the screen changes to
display that parameter. "Scanning the gauges" with an EIS consists of
looking at the red light.
