G'day all,
For those that have completed the engine install, how many ground tabs are
typically required on the engine side of the firewall? I have a 24 tab blo
ck on the cabin side and plan a smaller 10 tab block on the engine side - i
s 10 enough?
thanks in advance
Ron

Dynon Version 4.0 is now available to the public. Dynon and the
Beta Testers just finished up with all the Beta and Release testing of
this latest load. This version now includes full DSAB which mean you no
longer need the Serial cable between two Dynon products to share
information. So now any OAT connected to any unit can be used for %HP
calculations and well and True Airspeed. Software should now be up on
Dynon's Site.
Thank You

Ron,
For a Lyc install, 10 is even way more than you need for the
smaller ground wires. You'll have almost nothing. You
will, however, want to make sure you have a good engine
and engine mount ground strap.

On the engine side I just have the one big ground from the engine to the
airframe. I don't ground anything else on the front side. The 24 tab block
should probably cover it on the cabin side.

On the inside of the cabin, it will depend greatly on how much
you try to pull grounds back for all circuits to use the
single-point ground to prevent ground issues. I filled up
about 48 or more tabs on mine. I think the strip from B&C
was about 5" long or so. It won't hurt to buy oversized on the
ground tab block if you have room for it.

OK all you electrical gurus. I have two starter solonoids from Spruce that
have the two big terminals on each side and two small terminals in the
middle. Neither will activate when I apply 12V across the two small
terminals. In checking resistance I get an open (infinity) between all of
the terminals. I would expect a measured resistance between the two small
terminals and an open between the large terminals until activated.
Any suggestions, I thought I was a faulty unit but I bought these about two
years apart and both act the same. Spruce has no info and gave me the
manufacturer that made it, but they too don't have any info they import it
and it has no wiring info with it.

I think you may find that you'll have your resistance from
a terminal to the case of the solenoid.
You may want to peruse the Aeroelectric site a bit and perhaps
the Van's wiring plans. It's been a while but I think one of
those small terminal is basically just a switch closure that will
be used for an indicator to show the contacts are closed.
I don't think you'll want to put power to that one when it's
closed or you may short something. Attached is a diagram that
should help perhaps, depending on your solenoid.

| Subject: | Starter Solonoid |
Check out the Tony Bingelis book "Firewall Forward". It should have
what you need. Or you can look at some of Tony's articles under
Homebuilders Headquarters on the EAA website. Here is a link to an
article with a schematic that looks like it will serve:
http://members.eaa.org/home/homebuilders/building/electrical/Developing%
20Your%20Electrical%20System%20Part%202.html#TopOfPage
It shows the starter contactor with the 12 v line from the battery going
to one of the big lugs, a heavy cable going from the other big lug to
the starter, and the starter switch going to one of the little
terminals. The other litle terminal should connect to your starter to
operate the "Bendix". My understanding (which is highly open to
question), is that the way the solenoid works, the starter switch
connects the 12 v current to ground through the coil of the solenoid,
energizing the electromagnet and activating the contactor. So to get
the coil to activate, you need +12V connected to one of the big lugs,
and GND connected to the little lug . At that time, you should see
essentially zero resistance between the two big lugs.
Since you've got two of them, give it a try. If you burn one up, you've
still got a spare.

Ron,
One more data point for you - I just looked and am using 5 tabs on the
engine side of the FW and can't imagine using more. Here's the list:
Oil Temp sensor, Fuel Pressure sensor, 2 hall effect current sensors
(dual electrical bus and I'm monitoring total current draw from each
alternator, and finally 1 for an old fashioned Oil Pressure switch like
you'd use for a hobbs (drives an oil pressure light - I have my EIS
remotely mounted and have all alerting via the EFIS so this is a
backup).
I'm using a GRT EIS if it makes a difference. Grounding sensors on the
cabin side wouldn't be a big deal if you wanted to totally avoid the
connections on the engine side - just more wire to run.

Just a point of clarification.=C2- (However, this does go back a few years
to what I think I=C2-remember.)
A single ground point refers to the same electrical ground potential, rather
than physically the same point.
Having a 24 tab block on the firewall=C2-back to back with a 10 tab block
on the engine side of the firewall=C2-should be both.
Not having=C2-ground wires=C2-go through the firewall sounds like a good
thing.=C2- However, the tab=C2-connections=C2-are more subject to the
elements (corrosion) on the front side of the firewall and should be protec
ted accordingly.

I hate it when that happens!!! I've seen some 4 terminal solenoids that
used only one of the small terminals and used the case for ground. The
second small terminal isn't tied to anything! Probably has to do with
using one case style for both one and two terminal (or 3/4 if you will)
to cut down on inventory.
Good luck!

middle. Neither will activate when I apply 12V across the two small
terminals. In checking resistance I get an open (infinity) between all
of
the terminals. I would expect a measured resistance between the two
small
terminals and an open between the large terminals until activated.
Any suggestions, I thought I was a faulty unit but I bought these about
two
years apart and both act the same. Spruce has no info and gave me the
manufacturer that made it, but they too don't have any info they import
it
and it has no wiring info with it.

| Subject: | Another new EFIS entry by the big guys... |
I just read the brief write up of SmartDeck in Flying (11/07).
The system looks beautiful and I especially like the center console
(CCU). There is no mention of the experimental market but rather that
the "launch airplane for the Smart Deck will be revealed later this
year" and that once announced will become standard for that plane. The
test bed for the unit featured in Flying is an SR22. Hummmm hint, hint?
Maybe Cirrus is tired of Avidyne or they could get a much better deal
from L3 to give SmartDeck instant creditability.
When speaking to Columbia at SNF this year they mentioned that
once they started offering the G1000 and the Avidyne they didn't sell
another Avidyne equipped plane for 3+ months. Also a friend of mine
traded in a new C-210 for a deal on an Avidyne equipped Turbo Saratoga.
He got about $100K off list right around the time Piper started offering
the G1000.
Tim's last post is more proof of his brain power. I cannot make
heads or tails out of SmartDeck's pricing. Bring your checkbook!

I was looking at that this morning after the AOPA email newsletter mentioned
it. Looks like some neat stuff. It has some gorgeous graphics.
I was happy to see another 2" attitude indicator option until I saw the $8k
price tag for it. All the "stand by" gear in their price list is in the
$40k plus range so I didn't invest too much time getting excited about it.
But regardless I'm very happy to see new entries in the market.
Best Regards,

Anyone see this yet? Stein, got any info? Price, availability, selling to
the experimental market? Looks pretty sweet.

Could also have grounds for P-Mags and E-Mags that might go to the FW
instead of engine? Why not just put the small B&C block on the other side
(FW side) of the internal (Cabin side) big block and have plenty? BUT 10
should be plenty!

Subject: RE: RV10-List: Ground Tabs
Ron,
One more data point for you - I just looked and am using 5 tabs on the
engine side of the FW and can't imagine using more. Here's the list: Oil
Temp sensor, Fuel Pressure sensor, 2 hall effect current sensors (dual
electrical bus and I'm monitoring total current draw from each alternator,
and finally 1 for an old fashioned Oil Pressure switch like you'd use for a
hobbs (drives an oil pressure light - I have my EIS remotely mounted and
have all alerting via the EFIS so this is a backup).
I'm using a GRT EIS if it makes a difference. Grounding sensors on the
cabin side wouldn't be a big deal if you wanted to totally avoid the
connections on the engine side - just more wire to run.

Subject: RV10-List: Ground Tabs
G'day all,
For those that have completed the engine install, how many ground tabs are
typically required on the engine side of the firewall? I have a 24 tab
block on the cabin side and plan a smaller 10 tab block on the engine side -
is 10 enough?
thanks in advance
Ron

| Subject: | Throttle cable lengths with throttle quad option |
I am planning on the throttle quadrant and the Accuracy Avionics center console.
Is anyone else going this combination and already hooked up their engine cables?
I am approaching time to order the FF kit and would like to custom order the cables
if I need to add a couple inches to each one to make them fit correctly.
There has been some discussion about lengths due to alternate routing but I don't
remember anything including the AA center console.

In May last year... with great trepidation... I went down to
Fullerton Airport for the "Combat Fighter Pilot Experience" that my
wife had given me as a birthday present. That's me in the front seat
off for the wildest ride of my life.
While watching the local news today I saw this:
