Bob,
I'd love to hear your opinion on the "The Avionics Master - to Protect and
Defend" article in the July Sport Aviation, page 119 by George
Wilhlmsen. I don't know if you recieve it or not, it appears to not be
available online
http://www.eaa.org/benefits/sportaviation/0607_toc.html though I could
probably scan it for you.

I let my EAA membership lapse this year. I only go to OSH
every 5-10 years (more often to support a client). EAA
and Sport Aviation in particular have lost their roots.
I just don't find them inspiring any more. I recall
having done an article on avionics master switches
that was published in SA about 10 years ago but I don't
seem to have a copy on this computer. However, here's a longer
thread on the topic I captured from some forums back about
that same time:
See: http://aeroelectric.com/articles/avmaster.pdf
It's sad to see old flags being run up the pole and saluted
year after year.
The only argument with strength advanced by modern deacons
of the AVMaster Church is that, "not all products offered to
the OBAM aircraft community benefit from DO-160 style design."
My response is, "Why not?" It's easy to do, it's not a secret
process. The only reason folks get away with marketing
unnecessarily fragile equipment is because uneducated customers
will buy it . . . and then take pains to manually protect the
device from gremlins the manufacturer should have taken care of
by design.
NOT the way to advance the art and science of building airplanes.
