    Master solenoid - wiring

    Thanks for the feedback, the diagram confirms my wiring. My voltage drop is with no load, just the master on. I actually opened up the contactor seeing that i just ordered a used one. I found a half a teaspoon of dust, and everything is covered in rust. I guess that would do it.

    Dan Gryder is tweaking the NTSB

    I have to admit that I am surprised at the animosity towards Dan. I have been watching all his videos, and I appreciate the effort he is putting forward. He has an opinion and is not shy to express it. That ruffle some of the more “sensitive” aviators feathers, but I have not seen anybody with...

    Location of voltage regulator Piper Comanche?

    I saw that gear solenoid up high on the left! I spend a bit of time behind the panel tonight. I still cannot find the regulator. I went through the engine side, and used an inspection camera for the hard to see spots behind the panel. No luck! I will have to follow the field wire, but there...
