Well you can size the wiring properly by referring to the tables in AC43. Nobody here seems to know what reference the German glider manufacturers use, if any. Bernard could presumably just ask Schleichers. In any case, just measure at the battery terminals and at the instrument with the

As I said, maybe the DRY handicaps for sports class need review, the ballasted were changed a year or 2 ago, time at which I was told the DRY handicaps for sports class are no longer used because the Sports Nats are competed ballasted but we still use the DRY sports handicaps in other events.

Refer to AC43 but measure anyway. Who knows what the German glider manufacturers do with wiring. Mike At 10:52 AM 3/5/2017, you wrote: Hi Bob Many thanks for your quick reply. I realise that the size of the wiring comes into it but I was working on the assumption that the electronic

In order to calculate the voltage drop, we would need to know the exact conductor size of the wiring. Of course the circuit is actually going to be 22m in length. You can (fairly) easily measure the voltage drop with a voltmeter, to measure the voltage at both locations while the load is applied.

Good morning all Today I have a question for the electronic specialists on this forum. My new ASH 30 Mi has approx. 11m of electrical cable between the avionics battery in the top of the fin and the front instrument panel. What voltage drop can be expected at the panel if the combined avionics

At the Keepit Regatta we use the GFA dry handicaps and as Casey said, we adjust for engines weight when fitted and not accounted for in the reference weight. It would be nice if we could adjust the 18m gliders to something more realistic but since the Sports class are now competed ballasted I
