<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Some good ideas in the last few days. I love this forum! Scott Krueger points out the latent disaster in omitting a pump relay breaker, so I guess I'll have to put that in. Though in point of fact, powering the relays from the 50 amp breaker, with a smaller breaker (or an in-line fuse) between the 50 amp breaker and the relays (to enable little wires to the relays), is the nugget I extracted from his ideas. This secondary breaker (or fuse) need not be on the panel. Several others have pointed out interesting ideas for aircraft in which a runaway trim is catastrophic, but the question remains.... Can control be maintained in a 320/360 with full nose-up or nose-down trim? It may be an academic question at this point, as powering the relays off the 50 amp breaker (and fusing those wires) gives me the panel space I need to include a trim system circuit breaker. - Rob Wolf LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com.
