On the BD4 that I am rebuilding, the battery is behind the baggage compartment, with a really fat wire running up to the firewall.Â
IO 470 engine so lots of amps required for start.
Is there a recommended contactor placement/battery disconnect protocol out there?
I'm thinking safety in the event of an incident which might short out the fat wire to the fuselage. |
Battery contactor located as close as practical
to battery; starter contactor as close as practical
to starter. FAT wire connects battery contactor
to starter contactor and main bus feeder.

Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes
survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
out of that stuff?"
