I am starting to wire my 912 S and pretty intimidated. There are 6 posts on the
regulator / rectifier marked G G R B L C . The two yellow wires go to
the two G posts. What wires go to the other 4 posts? I am using a Grand Rapids
EIS with optional fuel totalizer ( if that makes any difference).

Anyone have any further info on this accident?
Who built the engine and why did it fail?

Of course now we want to know who built the engine and why it failed?

NTSB Identification: FTW03LA091
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Saturday, February 01, 2003 in Grandfield, OK
Aircraft: Gilbertson Zodiac CH601HDS, registration: N474BG
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors.
Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been
completed.
On February 1, 2003, approximately 1235 central standard time, a Gilbertson
Zodiac CH601HDS, experimental airplane, N474BG, struck a terrace during a
forced landing following a loss of engine power near Grandfield, Oklahoma.
The airplane was built, owned, and operated by the pilot under 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The airline transport pilot, sole
occupant, was not injured, and the airplane sustained substantial damage.
Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the local flight, and a
flight plan was not filed. The test flight originated from Chattanooga,
Oklahoma, approximately 1205.
Local authorities and the pilot reported to the FAA inspector that the
airplane struck the terrace, the nose landing gear collapsed, and the
airplane structure twisted as the airplane came to rest in the field. During
the impact sequence, the firewall and all components forward of the firewall
separated from the airplane. The integrity of the fuel tank was compromised.
The pilot reported to the FAA inspector that during a flight that morning,
the Subaru engine was running rough; however, he landed the airplane without
further incident. The carburetor screen was removed, cleaned of debris, and
reinstalled by the pilot.
During the afternoon flight, there was a total loss of engine power. The
pilot performed the emergency landing procedures.
The FAA inspector reported that the airplane had accumulated 28 of the
required 40 hours of flight time under the operating limitations for the
homebuilt airplane.

Lowell,
Today I am doing the same thing with the EIS on a Rotax 912S powered
Catalina.
G= Yellow
G= yellow
R & B get wired together (one note here some installations have a capacitor
and these two wires run across one of the capacitor posts to the bus bar,
the other post on the capacitor goes to ground)
L= open
C= can run from circuit breaker on panel (it provides buss bar voltage
signal to give reference to the regulator for over and under charge)

Lowell,
The R and B get tied together and go permanently to the main bus, thru a
30amp fuse.
Dont forget the large capacitor that also goes from the bus to ground
(filters the ripple and noise from that regulator).
The L optionally goes to a 12V bulb which will light when the alternator
stops charging (engine off).
The C goes to the main bus too, BUT must be switched OFF when the engine is
shut down or the battery will drain. In other words, C goes to the bus thru
an on/off switch. The regulator will not produce output unless you switch
this on. But because this circiut uses a small sample of current, you must
shut it off when the engine is not in use.
This wiring can be confirmed in the 912 installation manual. I just finsihed
this wiring myself a couple weeks ago and started the engine for the first
time. What a great feeling to see it run. Put too much oil in the tank and
watched it spray out of the overflow tube!! But electrically, the circuits
charged as they were supposed to, (so says the amp meter, volt meter), and
the lite came on when the engine was shut down. Good luck,
Jon
