I appreciate the feedback. I know this may sound smug or offensive, but it see no other way to say it. I haven't asked for the moon. I have come here to ask for the help of the experts with my shor ...

2batts and 2 alts. Identical to Z-14 except adding the second engine. As far as electrically dependent engines, I haven’t decided yet if I’ll have completely dependent, but I will have at least on ...

Thanks for the reply! That was my first inclination, but as I have said, I can't conceptualize how to make the tie-in to the crossfeed work. What wires would connect to where? Confused

Hello all,

I am planning a twin velocity build and the logical choice is to incorporate the Z-14 drawing for electrics. I am stuck with how to incorporate the 2 engine start system into the schem ...

Rob,


I did essentially the same thing you describe with a pair of AeroSun lamps. The only difference is that I just turned them both on all of the time. I want to be seen. I really don't care w ...

Hi Rob I just did exactly what you want. I used 3 switches. I checked with AeroLED and you can't hurt anything no matter how many switches you have on at once. Just Wig Wag will Wig Wag. Landing on an ...

Here's figure 5.3, but with the center lights and optional diode removed.  I think that's what you're after.

Hello Rob, I think you are overthinking it. By all means aim them differently so that you have the best lighting for both landing and taxi, and using the wig wag function is better than not using the ...

Ground wires should be the same size as the positive wire. Use 12 AWG.

Joe,

Going with one of Bob's proven wiring diagrams is a good decision.
Try ExpressPCB software for drawing wiring diagrams.

Since you might eventually add a second alternator, to make it less conf ...

Hello everyone. I’ve taken my first stab at the wiring diagram. I based this off of a Rotax 914 because that drawing has the turbo charger electrics depicted. The one thing it doesn’t show is the ...
