 Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 6:04 am Post subject: Z-13/8 in a Long-EZ |
 |
|
Just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I purchased a flying Long-EZ and wish to upgrade the panel and rewire aircraft. I purchased the Aeroelectric Connection a number of years ago and wish to thank Bob for all of his work and for providing an electronic version as well (nice to not have to carry about the printed version).
My current plan is to go with Z-13/8. I have an automotive alternator (one year old), will be removing the vacuum system and replacing it with a SD-8 and am going with ATC fuses.
A box of bits arrived from B and C and I'm sure it won't be the last order. I'm researching alternators, feed wires to such, battery and starter contactors, regulators and where to position all of this. I'm also researching internal vs external regulation on my main alternator.
I've been enjoying reading through the archives and wanted to thank everyone for their contributions to the list.

Jeff,
I also fly an Long-EZ, also with an automotive alternator and ATC fuses. I mounted two fuse blocks back-to-back to a bulkhead and just above the nosewheel cover. Attached is a picture of the battery-bus side of the fuseblocks. (Note: some of the fuses visible are just spares.) The fuses are accessible through the nose access hatch.
My alternator is an internally-regulated Hitachi (from a 1979 Datsun pickup) and suffers no ill effects when I disconnect it from the bus with a contactor. $50 at rockauto.com!
Email me if I can help you with any electrical or wiring issues.
