Most important is grounding your fuel tank (assuming you have a metal tank).I ran a 3/8=94 wide braided copper grounding strap from the engine to the fueltank (since the engine is the biggest chunk of metal in the airplane. Ialso made a fairly heavy copper buss bar for the aircraft ground (I think itwas =BD=94 wide and 1/8=94 thick) that all the aircraft electrical system wasgrounded to, and it was grounded to the engine as well.Check out Tony Bingelis=92s books. I believe he has several articles onaircraft grounding.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____

Hey guys,As I'm building my new cowling, I'm finding the air intake really messing upthe bottom "lines". I got to thinking, "why can't I just relocate it andmount it remotely"?. As long as the scat tubing from the box to the carbisn't too long to cool the heated air when I use the carb heat, I can't seeany downside.Thoughts?Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Grounding Aircraft
