Electrical System


	The entire electrical system is wire bundled with wax cord, not tie-wraps can be found anywhere. All ring connections are crimped then soldered and covered with shrink wrap.
The battery (new) is in the rear and incorporates a Master Relay for safety. If the Master relay is off then there is no power to anywhere in the aircraft.
	The main junction for the electrical system is in the rear behind the fuel tank. This pictures shows the battery and the hobbs meter from the starboard side.
Installed on the panel on the right side are the main charging circuit breakers, and the tach fuse. The two green lights are used to test the mag P-leads to make sure they are gorunded. During the pre-flight you turn on the master switch in the cockpit, then press the test button. If the 2 lights glow green then both mags are grounded. During your walk around you are now assured that the engine will not start if you move the prop. Above the magnum Stobe power supply you will see the starter solenoid. It also has a Power Genie installed so the hobbs meter only runs when the engine is running. This is so you are not recording engine time when just the master switch is on.
	All the wiring from the instrument panel to the engine terminates at this terminal strip. With this design trouble shooting problems is a snap.
Above the starter solenoid is the charging regulator. This is the advanced model that charges the battery while you fly.
	The pilot/co-pilot mic and phone jacks are mounted back behind the pilot. The external com and ELT antennas are mounted on the wing.
