Default Electronics help
Never too soon to begin learning about the electronics and electrical wiring I will need for my 10. I recall recently seeing a text or guide for avionics, but I did not write down the title or author. What suggestions do you have?

Check out Bob's book for a lot of good information.

I highly recommend Vertical Power for your electrical system, and their installation guide is a very good start.

I agree with both Jesse and Bill. The VPX Pro is a great unit. While it costs a little more, a majority of the cost is saved by not having to purchase many items that are required with one of Bob's Z schematics.

I like vertical power too. It does cost more. You will have a weight savings with it. With it you have the load carrying wires leave the vp box and go directly to the device (lights, pump, etc). Any type of switches can be used being they are just signals to the vp box, not load carrying.
