New Book ? Aircraft Wiring Guide
[ed. Marc is a new advertiser here (ad starts Friday 2/20). Thank you Marc!!! v/r,dr]
The Aircraft Wiring Guide is a new book available for us homebuilders that explains the ins and outs of wiring a modern experimental aircraft. If you’re building, maintaining, upgrading, or repairing an experimental-category aircraft, this book can help you uncover the mysteries of aircraft wiring.
After talking to thousands of fellow homebuilders and giving many presentations at fly-ins around the country, I realized there was a need for information to design and build the newer, more complex electrical systems found in modern aircraft. The Aircraft Wiring Guide takes that experience and condenses it into 85 pages of useful information and guidance. It covers both traditional electrical wiring and the Vertical Power system.
You can visit the Aircraft Wiring Guide web site here for more details and order a copy.

I thought I was all set with the AeroElectric Connection, but given how great the writing is in the VPX manuals, I ordered a copy.
In my opinion, Marc writes very succinctly, clearly, and effectively communicates what you need to know, and why.

Having read through a draft of Marc's book, I can tell you that it clearly answers many of the basic wiring questions that the average builder (without extensive aircraft wiring experience) would have - I think it will be a great resource, especially for those who don't have a Tech Counselor handy to show them the ropes....I mean, the wires.....

Rich -
No plans for an ebook. I intentionally went paper as I believe, for this application, you'll want to write notes in the margins, modify the drawings, and have it handy amongst a pile of wires and rivets.

Way to go Marc.  An excellent follow on from the VP-X & other systems you produced. I'll buy one as I believe we can all learn something new.

I bought one even though my plane is finished.
I think it will be a good resource for future updates to the panel and to review what I have already completed.
