Electrics: The fuse block is becoming populated.
http://gikonelectrics.blogspot.com/2008/03/fuse-block-is-becoming-populated.html
Saturday, 15 March 2008. The fuse block is becoming populated. The fuse block is steadily becoming populated. I think only three feeds missing, the radio, transponder and intercom. The intercom will be located just below the switches you see for the p-mags, about where the cleco is. I like the idea of having it here. While easy to get to it is out of the way. Once set, it should not need attention, and therefore does not need to clutter the panel. So I have tried to make the runs short.

Electrics: The first building blocks of the electrical system are installed.
http://gikonelectrics.blogspot.com/2007/09/i-installed-first-two-electrical.html
Monday, 10 September 2007. The first building blocks of the electrical system are installed. I installed the first two electrical components recently. In this picture you can see a 20 way fuse block. This had to go in now since it was necessary to install the cowl cheek extension for painting. Power will come from inside the cowl cheek extension. If a fuse blows I will manage without whatever I loose. Playing with breakers and fuses in the air is pointless. I really like push on terminals. This is a ...

Electrics: February 2008
http://gikonelectrics.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 23 February 2008. Suddenly there is wire everywhere! For me this is one of the exciting points of putting my RV together. I enjoy the rapid progress that can be made installing the wiring. Having ordered an AFS. 3400 I benefit from three very comprehensive harnesses which plug into the back of it. First step therefore is to thread all the wires in the general direction they have to go, and make sure they are combed out . That is what is going on in this first picture. Links to this post.

Electrics: December 2007
http://gikonelectrics.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 December 2007. DigiFlight II, trim, AoA and other wiring runs. I have started on the wiring as a change from working on the baffles. In this first picture you see the wire to the roll servo, and the flap position switch for the AoA. The wires you see here, are from the trim and from the pitch servo. I have tried to leave a little slack in the bundle in case I ever have to remake the plug. The strobe power, and headset wiring, will be on the RHS. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Electrics: May 2008
http://gikonelectrics.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 19 May 2008. The electrics are nearly complete. I am always disappointed. That I cant make the electrics look more tidy. I am an EE. But I guess I need the skills of an electrician, which I don't. Have, to do this well. Despite those draw backs, I thought it might be worth including some pictures so others can get my approach to the location of the various electrical building blocks. Power comes through the firewall on the RHS. For this inside the cowl cheek for this to attach to.

Electrics: P-mags and wiring
http://gikonelectrics.blogspot.com/2008/09/p-mag-wiring.html
Tuesday, 23 September 2008. There has been lots of discussion recently on Vansairforce, as to how to wire P-mags. I didn't really want to depart from E-mags wiring approach, but I did want to minimise the number of switches. I also wanted to keep it as similar as possible to the switching of normal Slick or Bendix mags for ergonomic reasons. I decided to wire it exactly as E-mag proposed, but combined the functions of their two switches, into a single 2-50 type (expensive) switch. To test the self genera...
