I want to say I ran my ground in the old plane all the way forward to the main ground block, but I think I've seen another plane that used a local ground. Both worked fine. Not sure about the number of wires. I can't download the wiring diagram for some reason. Not sure if it's me or TT's site. Anyway, I'd let the TT be your guide: http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/docs.htm -- Larry Bowen Larry@BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 7:20 PM, bert murillo wrote: > Thanks Larry: I saw your web page also, very nice work, when you see > this, one think > if I could do it again... > > Any how I* finished, the basic installation today, I decided to use bolts, > and nuts.. > of course wire safetyed..
