Hi folks Last year, my first year insuring the Europa, Jennings gave me the best quote and got my business. Now, a year without claims later, Jennings' quote is about the same as last year, but Traff
Light Aero have most of the sizes and if you only want small amounts I would use them. If you want lots Aircraft Spruce are SO much cheaper it is worth the 2 week wait that it takes ! Richard Richard
That is the US EAA way. No such restriction here. Second and subsequent owners if they are members of the PFA may do the basic maintenance. Certain things need a PFA Inspector sign off. Richard Rich

Would someone like to explain this ? The Rotax Installation manual just shows an earth connection for the regulator body. No sizes, no critical comment. There are two alternator wires which go to th
I had assumed that the earth from the regulator (I see now that it is called a rectifier-regulator) was just something to provide an earth reference. Mine is just 22 AWG. Nothing, anywhere, shows th
Sure - thanks. I will probably use 12AWG. But it was an easy mistake to make - NO-WHERE is that earth connection from the rectifier-regulator marked as being "high current carrying" or any similar t

I flew today with my new piece of 12 AWG from the rectifier-regular to earth. It didn't make any difference that I could see ! I have one of those strange earthing faults that I will find eventually
