Don't put it on the avionics bus. Keep your avionics and airframe systems separate. Nothing wrong with wiring them hot at all times, just make...

Reminds me of a time when I stuffed my son inside a belly pod to do some fiberglass repairs. Hope the statute of limitations is up on that. Web

On your system, the over voltage module is built into the ACU/regulator. Web

Look under the panel at the back of the breakers. They should all be tied together with an aluminum or copper strip. I suspect a bad connection on...

A basic electricity point: magnetism is produced by the current flow in a wire, NOT by the voltage applied. I know, I know, it takes voltage to push...

Judging by your pic and description, this should be the wiring diagram for your aircraft alternator system. With the engine off, battery and...

Thanks Frank. That's good news from µAvionix. My opinion is that all aircraft should use a remote mount flux gate for any magnetic instruments. The...

Well your Honor When I move the cooler to the rear baffle, I consider it a minor mod as the oil cooler still works by ram air moving through an...

I've had a couple of charge ports do this to me over the years. Both times I swapped it out with another charge port and the noise went away. I guess...

Same style of cooler, just new location. Web

What do you say about this DGA? Web

I guess I'm in all sorts of trouble now, lol, cause I'm not seeing it and I'm not changing my ways. Web

OK. I'll be the one. Just why would you need an STC to move the oil cooler? The basic design has not been changed. Still two hoses connected to an...

Huh. Never moved one with an STC. I'll be darned. Web
