Thanks, I will call them tomorrow and ask. If it is a 3 position switch that they use, you're right, I may be able to substitute with a rotary.

Yeah, but do any of the offerings work with a rotary selector switch. I thin this provides specific values at each position?

I have seen some of the flap positioning systems out on the market and have a question.

Do any of them work with a Rotary knob? I really like the rotary knob that is used in the Fligh Design CT. It is 4 position for 10, 20, 30 and 40 degrees of flaps.

Thoughts?

I am looking for a place to get the temp control knob like the on that the Jeep Liberty uses? I just finished building my airplane and would like to add an electronic cabin temp control knob similar to what is used in my Jeep, but am having trouble finding it. I could look at the one in my car, but ...

Thanks Bill...

Good thoughts. SOmeone else told me that the main reason was to have the big stuff one the other side of teh firewall. Makes good sense. I'm going to order the following relay tomorrow...

Jim!

I am going to use a Composite Design power panel in the Lightning that I am building. This has a split power toggle switch on it (master/alternator). The panel wants to see power from a battery solonoid (like a Cessna), and not wired direct. My engine is a Jabiru 3300 and most of the aircraft built ...

Thanks dude, tomorrow is my last day to work on the airplane for a while. Now I can wire it up!

I am getting ready to wire up my TruTrak Pictorial Turn and Bank and found that I have lost the wiring diagram!

The connector is a 3 pin military type, labeled "A" "B" "C" for the pins in a triangular arrangement.

Has anyone used this, or would know what the pin arrangement is?

Thanks
Jim!

No, the coiled wires are right from the TC. I guess I could coil the wire right at the TC to shorten it on the RDAC side?

I have a problem. In wiring the 12 Thermocouples for my Jabiru 3300 to my RDAC, I find that there doesn't seem to be a way to keep everything neat. I have extended the wiring for two of the TCs, but some of the wire is too long and I have to coil it. Now I basically have a rats nest around the RDAC>...

Thanks for the input CJ. Sounds like at a minimum then I would use breaker switches.

I am getting ready to wire up my panel Some of the people that I talk to are of the opinion that while everything has some kind of breaker on it, anything that is switched on and off could use a breaker-switch and save the breakers only for the stuff that is not switched on or off. Here is my electr...

Yep, thanks for the insight.

Yep, I understand...

Typically then, what devices do you need a switch other than a single pole for?

Jim!

I would agree with you. Generally, I would think that something made for the industrial environment would be pretty robust?

Also, when you are woring your circuits, if you are powering two systems from a single switch, (like com and xponder), are you typically using a DPST?

I am looking for some rocker switches to use in my airplane. I like what I have found at Gulf Coast Avionics, but they are pushing $39.00 each! Here are some that are lighted and much less. What do you guys think? http://search.instawares.com/lighted-rocker-switch.0.3.0.htm?gclid=cjhjlikzq44cfsasggo...

Maybe I posted the URL wrong, sorry, let's try again...

Have any of you guys used an in the fuse antenna?

Here is one at Aircraft Spruce that can be used for both Nav and Com, (one for nav, one for com)

I want to paint a two color scheme on my aircraft.

My question is do people paint the whole aircraft white and then paint the bottom half the darker color, or do they paint the white top part, and then mask it off and paint the bottom?

Jim!
