Boyd:
The starter solenoid is not the only thing we need to worry about. The starter
itself produces high voltage spikes through out the plane. Possibly the
diode trick would work on the starter also but I've never tried it. Putting a
diode across any relay's coil is a good idea. The only problem is that when the
diode goes bad, opens up, you don't know it and radio's get zapped. Knowing
this, a diode of at least 1 amp at 600 volts should be used. That's all I've
ever used on my starter solenoids and haven't had any problems.

- I am about to install the control cables.- How many degrees of "up el
evator" should there be with the stick all the way back?- Also, degrees r
elative to the main fuselage tube, or the horizontal stabilizer?

this is how I approached the problem... it seems to be fail safe and easy.
I did not use the diode but I showed it in the diagram to show proper
placement.

Bill on my markIII plans it says " note there should be approximately 35
Deg up and 35 Deg down rotation on the elevator."

So, Boyd, where does the wine chiller plug in? ;-)

- Boyd- thanks.- I just finished, and 35 degrees up and down was all th
at the linkage allowed.

The wine chiller would be item "K" under "repeat as necessary"
I don't have one of those on my kolb, never crossed my mind.

Funny how a designer can make that work out.

Boyd:
The way you have your system wired is perfect isolation so much so that the
diode is not needed at all to protect the electronics. The diode is however
still needed to protect the starter switch contacts. The contacts can actually
pit without it. Good job, I'll be using your idea in my plane.
