Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 7:38 pm Post subject: methodology for avionics install

I had no avionics or electric turn coordinator in my project  aircraft. 

  

 I have now installed an audio panel and a gps/com, which seem to be working  find, no feedback or hums or other noise.

  

 My plan is to install each additional unit and do some testing before  adding additional units. 

  

 Hopefully, if there is a problem, I can attribute it to the latest addition  for remedial measures.

  

 Is this a sound idea?  It is somewhat more timeconsuming, as opposed  to doing it all at once.

  

 I plan to put the turn coordinator back in last, assuming it is the  noisiest electrical unit-should this be on the same ground as the other  avionics?  Is mu metal a significently better shield that the sheetmetal  gutter material?

  

 Thank you, Skip Simpson

It seems like it would be slower and more time consuming than installing 
	


everything at once and throwing the master switch, but that is just a 

mirage.  Your plan will actually save you many, MANY hours of 

troubleshooting, debugging, and pulling the instruments back out, one by 

one, as you try to discover which one of those many wires got crossed 

and caused the problem.  It's a case of "slow down so you can get done 

faster."
