    New 4 seat All Composite Airplane Kit from Brazil

    If no manufacturing recommendation is given then the easiest way to remember is: If you want to avoid interference from ESCAPING the wire (power cables) ground both sides of the shield. If you want to avoid interference from ENTERING the wire (signal cables) only ground the side closest to the...

    Voltage regulator - must have for electrical system?

    Or you can get a good heavy duty car alternator that has the regulator and exciter circuit built in. They are cheaper and easier to set up since they don't need all the additional wiring. :cool:

    Buying a used homebuilt

    That is a BEAUTIFUL airplane. Too bad you are not close to Houston, Texas or I would volunteer to fly it for you. Also, check with FALCON Insurance (Bill Snead 888-405-1055) they insure my experimental airplane and have very reasonable rates. :cool:
