A prolific writer and skilled scientist, he lives by the rules of simple ideas provable thru repeatable experiment. All of the concepts on which he bases his suggestions for electrical system design and construction are built around these stone simple ideas. Bob has been involved in aircraft electrical system design, construction & maintenance for 30+ years with a number of high-profile companies. Burt Rutan asked Bob to design the electrical system for the Voyager. For those of you who've never heard of the Aeroelectric Connection I encourage you subscribe to the Aeroelectric email list found at http://www.matronics.com. Also visit http://www.aeroelectric.com, Bob's personal website. There you can download (for free!) tons of great info and get a good idea of where Bob's coming from. Purchase his book, The Aerolectric Connection, and you can learn everything you need to know about designing and building your own aircraft electrical system.
