As requested by our german FAA (LBA) I had to electrically bond every moving part of the plane. This sounds rather superfluous in an all metail aircraft, but it’s probably the best to be on the safe side. The picture shows a small wire connection between elevator and horizontal stab. The wire will be covered […]

The lights (landing, nav, strobe) have a 10A fuse, the rest of my electrical installation is fused with 5A.

From left to right you can see: – Battery: we used Hawker Odyssey PC680, 12V 17Ah. There is a battery bracket available from ACS which helped for a quick installation. – on top of the battery is the master relay – on […]
