Very true Hamid.

I absolutely dreaded the prospect of rewiring my Chelton system to upgrade
to the Pinpoint GADAHRS and MSU.  I thought I'd have some help at my airport
but could find no one around the area.  Finally bit the bullet and for the
past month and a half have been performing this four hour project.  Have
learned so much about the system that I now feel it was fortuitous that I
did it myself.  Before the fact I looked at this as the task from hell that
I never wanted to face.

I now feel comfortable tearing into the instrument panel when needed -
taking out boxes, tracing wires through the spaghetti maze and
troubleshooting problems.  

There is a caveat here and one that can serve us all.  I found that Jason
Smith at Aerotronics was willing to hold my hand and give timely advice via
phone and email along the way.  If your panel was made at Aerotronics, maybe
even not, there is no way I can pay enough tribute to the company and to
this guy who is extremely knowledgeable and has been so willing to spend
whatever time it took to keep me from breaking things and to even speak in
layman's terms that have helped me to actually understand what I was doing
and how the system works.  Thank you Jason!

We're blessed to have people in the Lancair community including the vendors
that have these standards of commitment to help us in our efforts.  


Fly safe

Unless you are building an airplane with no electrical system, decisions
like breakers vs. fuses, how many of them, on which buss, located where....
are all part of building the airplane.

I would take it a step further and assert that the time spent in
understanding the issues and thoughtfully/insightfully designing the system
is far more productive than the time spent on mechanical tasks of putting
things together.

Hamid
