RANS S21 Build - Ep 29 Garmin Panel Wiring Part 2

[@klw141]

Good job on the avionics layout. Can you share a link on the breaker toggles? Also, you should try and keep the avionics bus separate from the engine components. You showed the fuel pump connected to the avionics power buss, things like that are electrically noisy and you should try top segregate them as best you can.

The breaker toggles are TE P&B Circuit Breakers. W31-X2M1G-10 (10 AMP) at AC Spruce. The panel company recommended the breaker toggles. Good comment on the power bus, but the panel company sent me the panel with the buses in place. My diagram in the video was me tracing wires and figuring out how the panel was wired. Thanks a lot.

It is probably too late since this video is three months old, but I plan to mount my remote avionics under any mounting panel so that I can more easily get it them once the cowling is riveted in place. Putting them on top will complicate removal later.

That makes a lot of sense. Let me know how it goes. I haven't seen others do that, but it doesn't mean its not a good idea. One of the issues might be bundling all of the wires under the cage frame. There are tons of wires that lay across the shelf.

@@treetopflight7624 I will decide how to run the wires once the avionics are in place, but will likely bundle the wires above the cage frame and just leave the connector on a service loop below the frame. Not likely to need to remove the entire wiring harness, but removing and replacing avionics units is more likely.
