KR> Instrument Panel Wiring
Wiring the instrument panel on my KR-2 is almost done. The panel is a Rand factory unit with panel and forward deck as one single piece. The panel and forward deck is screwed in place and removable as need be for annual condition inspection and possible future mods. The GPS antenna is mounted above the radio under the forward deck. I used 5 different crimpers for the 27 various connector types and splices, 2 wire strippers and yes, the propane torch too. Per Larry Flesner's advice, lots of wiring diagrams and notes for each instrument, radio and connector. Every end of every wire is documented and double checked. Expect first panel light-off/smoke check in about a week. https://s3.amazonaws.com/expercraft/sidwood/14681324364d17d64f279e7.jpg Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA smw...@md.metrocast.net

WOW Great Thanks to Jon Finley for the link to AeroElectric Connection... This is definitely a KEEPER. Joe. E. Wallace jwallace...@gmail.com On Oct 29, 2010, at 5:26 PM, Jon Finley wrote: > > All, > > I hope everyone is familiar with the AeroElectric Connection and Bob Nuckolls > work.
Re: KR> Instrument Panel Wiring
All, I hope everyone is familiar with the AeroElectric Connection and Bob Nuckolls work. The Connection has created a number of "recipes" for fault tolerant electric systems along with gobs of good information. There is no reason for any homebuilt to have an electrical system fault that causes an emergency.

The one and only electrical problem I've had to date, loss of main electrical buss, was corrected with two meter checks thanks to detailed wiring schematic. It doesn't have to be fancy, just hand drawn, and each circuit can have it's own page if you want. Larry Flesner
KR> Instrument Panel Wiring
I have started wiring on my KR-2 instrument panel. I have had some experience on this sort of thing, but that was many years ago. Looking at all the schematics for all the gadgets and switches with wires running every which way was daunting to say the least. Truth be known, I found other things to do for a couple months while "I thought about it". Then a divine revelation came upon me: This wire goes from this terminal here to the terminal over there. I can do that. Ok, leave enough slack to make a bundle for support. Run the next wire along the length of the first wire. Next thing I realize, hey I'm wiring the panel.
