For what its worth - when I built my RV-4 originally I had Aeroflash
powerpacks in both wings - ran all wires together unshielded. I had some
whine in the headset when they were on but eliminated that when I isolated
all audio grounds to a single point.
If youy follow the recommendations from Bob at Aeroelectric and isolate the
grounds for your audio system you shouldn't have any problem. There is a
good article on his site (www.aeroelectric.com) that addresses this topic I
seem to recall.....

which has a double sheild will also help to eliminate an RF interference and
if I have problems I'll just drill off the bottom skins and run new conduit

Yup, good advice Richard,
I think we tend to get into grounding issues when trying to reinvent the wheel.
Bob's book and the Aerolectric matronics list are a great resource, I don't recommend
getting the Aerolectric stuff dumped to your email cause there is lots
of stuff every day but the archives are packed with good info. Bob's web site
has some really good talking papers as well, print them in color so they look
nice on the nightstand next to the bed....just for a laugh...how many of group
have SOME kinda aviation literature on the nightstand that understanding better
halfs put up with until it gets about 6 inches high?

Guys, I am sure we have been here before. Just my .02$
How much does about 30ft x2 (for each wing) and another 20ft (for the tail)
of shielded cables for these strobes weigh? There is an option of running
regular 18g wire and having a strobe power supply in the wing tip and the
root of the tail. These PW supplies weigh only a pound and there is no issue
of interference or running high voltage lines past tanks or other wires (com
antenna wires or etc)
Is this a reasonable route? I am not an engineer of any sort, just a dumb
homebuilder.
I think there will be a weight saving which can be allocated to other stuff.

I have a reduced size (8 1/2 x 11) set of plans that I take everywhere.

Ha. She starts looking at me funny when my 6" nightstand stack gets to
about 12". I have an open library of about 5-6 aviation subscriptions going
back about three years that we have recently consolidated from about 4
stacks of 1 foot high to one, out-of-the-way stack beside our bookcase. I
probably wouldn't have asked for so many subscriptions except that it was an
early Christmas present to me before going to Iraq in Jan '03...I'm letting
some expire now to devote my pennies to the project and flight training.
