"Which is why in my aircraft I am using switching breakers for anything that

everything else. "
Fred and Tony:
Thank you for correcting my twisted thoughts. I was of course
thinking of Kapton and erroneously mentally applying to Tefzel. The effects
of hot spark on Kapton had mesmerized me - when I think of the former advice
of engineers in the airline and the 'reset' procedure I wonder that so many
lived.....
Thanks again for sharing rich advice.
