Rotax 915/Sling TSi Electrical System Overview

[@mojogrip]

Nice to finally meet the man behind the camera 😂👍🏾

[@EvanBrunye]

Haha heck ya man. Your build is looking great over there!🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@fransmare]

Complete 180 as to how I pictured him 😀

[@DougGoodrich]

The best way to learn something is to teach it. Way to go! Keep building.

[@richardseton7014]

Another robust, helpful, easy to follow commentary!

[@flyingnp4924]

Great vid and explanation. Will be nice to use as a reference. In doing a build, I am more concerned with the avionics and electrical systems than I am with the build itself.

[@EvanBrunye]

John Howell theyre definitely the more daunting aspects of the build for me as well

[@algenalbritten3056]

Thanks for the thorough overview, I've looked at the diagrams a few times but this helps connect some dots.

[@EvanBrunye]

Glad it helped man. Hopefully you’re stoked on your plane and getting some good flight time in lately, it turned out awesome

[@YourFriendlyGApilot]

super video, thank you so much for the clear explanation!

[@slappyhappy2213]

You must be some kind of scientist.

[@MaxMaxwellYT]

Good Stuff

[@andyclark9733]

Thanks Evan. These videos are great. Will you do one specifically about the VPX?

[@EvanBrunye]

Andy Clark there are many videos about the vpx on KZbin already. I’ll probably cover it briefly in an avionics video down the line when they’re installed

[@LifeLatitudes]

Nice, thanks for sharing. What kind of master relay or solenoid did you use. I am not sure if I should take your solution or stick to the manual and take a masterswitch with build in circuit breaker. Is the shunt in the Sling package included?

[@EvanBrunye]

I’m not aware of anyone using a master switch with built in breaker, a typical installation uses a master solenoid and breakers as required. It wouldn’t be a bad route I don’t think, but it’s not the standard for some reason. The shunt is part of your avionics when you order from somebody like midwest panel, or must be sourced with your electrical/avionics components if doing it on your own

[@LifeLatitudes]

@@EvanBrunye thanks, i try it completely by my own 😀

[@LifeLatitudes]

@@EvanBrunye sorry to bother you again, where did you get the ammeter shunt and how much Amps does it allow? Greets from Germany

[@Cess08van]

How is the battery recharged?

[@EvanBrunye]

Pin 3 from the x3 connector connects to the ammeter shunt to provide power from generator 2

[@LTVoyager]

Those really aren’t holes through the firewall with rubber grommets, right?

[@EvanBrunye]

LTVoyager what do you mean

[@LTVoyager]

Evan Brunye @14:00 it appears that they are two holes through the firewall with rubber grommets in them. To the right of the battery and above the Rotax regulator module.

[@EvanBrunye]

LTVoyager ya one for the gps antenna wire and one for the ground wire pass through. What’s wrong with rubber grommets?

[@LTVoyager]

Evan Brunye The key is in the aptly named firewall. This is a wall intended to block fire. How long do you think it would take for fire to go through the holes in your grommets and also melt away the grommets making an even bigger hole. An engine fire blown by a 100 MPH wind would be like a blowtorch coming in behind your instrument panel through those two holes. www.aeroelectric.com/articles/Firewall_Penetration/firewall.html www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/firewall_penetration_kit.php

[@EvanBrunye]

LTVoyager This is all how the build manual says to do it, but you definitely have a point. Thanks for the heads up I’ll see what I can do to fix it

[@joshuamarks4131]

Not going to lie, I thought you were older.. Haha

[@EvanBrunye]

I’m 54 years old, how old did you think I was?

@@EvanBrunye no way you're 54!!!

Joshua Marks 😂😂 ya you’re right

@@EvanBrunye lol keep up the good work, once I start my career ill probably build one too and rewatch your videos.

[@BW-zb2pd]

Yep, not what I pictured....

[@experimental_av]

Is that a hydrogen gun?

[@EvanBrunye]

Haha ya that’s a little hydrogen cannon with some 3d printed rockets 😎

@@EvanBrunye nice

[@ericlaw2416]

1/3 of this went over my head but that’s ok, gives me some research to do. What broke the tie for you on VPX vs circuit breakers?

[@EvanBrunye]

To me there really was no tie. The vpx checks all the boxes- cleaner panel, more functionality, and keeps the modern aspect of the plane alive, which is such a major part of the tsi to begin with
