Post by Murray and Carol Cherkas » Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:59 pm

Thanks Curt

I'm 75% finished wiring. And yes I used the spade terminals thinking they
were the least likely to come loose from vibration and the easiest to take
off for servicing.Somtimes we do things more right and somtimes not.( how
could I admit to have erred, even if eye was wrong.)
Your 2 cents won't take me to far could you please send a little more next
time.

Good Luck
Murray

Ok Murry, here's my .02. I also used some hot strip and ground strips, and
a
pretty standard avitation circuit breaker setup. Anything that a screw held
the terminal in place, I used a star washer to prevent it from backing out.
I
used the hot strips to run the multiple tasks off the same breaker, just
eight positions. The grounding strips were very handy and I prefer them to
the spade terminals as I have had several problems with the porcupine spade
terminals that cessna uses, and they are always in the worst possibe
position
to find the problem. It seems the spades loosen over time. I have also found
that loctite under the smaller screws can be a pain in the a-- when you
can't
get that nice straigth shot with the screw driver. Hope that is clear as
mud.
It seems that if you use good acft techniques and similar wiring, the rest
is
a free for all. Just keep it easy to service. IMHO Curt N97MR

Post by Al & Deb Paxhia » Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:58 pm

Jim,
MAM provided a 5 or 6 conductor cable for the trim servo and that is what I
used. I made permanent connections to the servo and ran a length of wire
down the rear spar to center hinge area where I installed a molex plug. I
used molex plugs on the wiring that goes to wings also, they are low cost
and save time when doing maintenance. If it's not too late, a conduit inside
the horizontal stab would be good.
Inside the floor of the cabin I ran a 1.5" Teflon conduit that I picked up
a Boeing Surplus, this is where most of my wiring runs. The stuff in the
tailcone is suspended with clamps, no conduit.

Post by klehman » Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:58 pm

Hi Jim

The servo manufacturer (RAC) sells that 5 conductor tefzel cable for
about a US$ per foot but it is something like 26 gauge which is thinner
than some folks like to use in an airplane. It is on their web site.
Aircraft Spruce also sells it although they call it FEP teflon.

Bob Knuckolls has some photos and diagrams on his Aeroelectric site
using 9 pin computer D sub connectors to wire up these servos. Cheap and
reliable. One of the few places that he says soldering is OK if done
according to his diagrams. Gold plated crimp pins are also available.

Cessna's and such seem to use a lot of the Molex connectors that Al
mentioned. THey are all crimped AFAIK. Probably slightly lower quality
than D subs.

I get the milky white plastic conduit at TSC hardware store. 20 or 30
cents a foot. Not sure but I think it is polyethylene.
I like to run it through those hard plastic snap in bushings at
bulkheads as they require a smaller hole than rubber grommets.
You might want to make the fuselage conduit or grommets large enough to
run ELT wires as well. My ACK ELT uses 4 conductor telephone to wall
jack wire although it is cross wired compared to telephone cables IIRC.

Post by Ralph Baker » Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:58 pm

Jim,
I am at the wiring / fuel line point and if I had it to do over would
run both under the floor in plastic conduit arranged so that they could
be replaced in the future without major rework. there are several
conduit options. Van's sells a ribbed non split conduit ( I recommend
against split) and many hardware or marine supply sell a ribbed
lightweight 3/4" bilge drain hose. Always think future maintenance and
add access panels or routing to ease maintenance. Plan way ahead. Do
not put any couplings or wire connections in inaccessible locations.

Ray Allen (bought MAC) has the servo wire if you don't have enough. I
ran a length of 3/8 Alum tube in the elevator such that the trim wire
can be easily replaced if required. once again, plan ahead. The molex
connectors work fine. An alternative is the tiny connectors used by the
R?C airplane folks and available at hobby shops. Do put a disconnect of
some type in.

Post by Ralph Baker » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:01 am

Jean,
As with every aspect of construction try to think way ahead so you don't
"paint yourself into a corner". An example is using nuplates to attach
wing/aileron hinges. In this case I agree with Wayne that aluminum
tubing conduit is the way to go. Run it in the nose ribs, fasten with
Adel clamps, and be sure you can fish the total number of wires. That
will require a little thought as to wing tip lights, power supply
location and wire routing including out of the wing and how you will get
to and inside the fuselage. I am coming out a hole in the wing bottom
inside the upper strut fairing and down inside the strut and into the
fuselage inside the lower strut fairing.

Always plan for future maintenance and access. For example, disconnects
for the wiring so the wing can be removed. Also, don't forget to plan
for pitot line as well.

We used 1/2" pvc for wing conduit but Wayne has convinced me aluminum
tubing would have been a better choice. Too late now!

I used Molex connectors. I bought a prototyping kit from Allied Electronics,
the kit has male and female connectors, a crimper and several of each size
from one pin to 12 pin. Cost was about $75. I have found that these work
well for lots of uses on the airplane and around the farm. On the Moose I
use them for the trim servos, lights (panel, nav, strobes, taxi, and
landing) autopilot. Anything that I thought may need maintenance has a
plug.

Wiring

Post by Kim Kimball » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:09 am

I am hoping to finish the wiring that must pass through the firewall this weekend. I wonder if there are any no-nos in grouping certain types of wires. I've got power, electronic ignition, IVO prop control and sensor wires, and engine gauge sensor wires that need to pass through the firewall. Can all of these types of wires be grouped in the same feedthrough?

I'd keep the electronic ignition low tension wires away from everything else
for interference reasons, then I'd have dedicated holes for the
starter/battery/alternator wires. Everything else can go together.
