Default AeroLED Suntail Install

Would anyone be kind enough to show me pictures of their Suntail installation, wire runs and grounding?

No pictures of the install, but I was just talking about the wiring of a SunTail with Chris at SteinAir on Friday. He said that you definitely want to run the ground for the SunTail thru the cable shielding, all the way back up to the panel, and ground it at your forest of tabs. He tested both that and grounding locally on his plane, and there was enough interference that his magnetometer would fail calibration with the local ground.

That is opposite from the directions I believe. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

I grounded mine at the aft surface of the vertical stabilizer near the penetration for the wire from the empennage.
