Default Wiring guide

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for an aircraft wiring guide. The EAA has one. Anyone have an opinion of that book? Other publications you would recommend?

Thanks,

Tom

AeroElectric Connection. Don't run a wire without it. You can purchase a hard copy, or download the pdf for free. If you subscribe to the Matronics aeroelectric list, you get consults with the author for free, too.

There are some good documents on the Vertical Power website here http://verticalpower.com/documents/.

Stein's videos on youtube are excellent https://www.youtube.com/user/shbruch/videos

There are also some EAA wiring videos similar in quality to Stein's vids although I don't have a link to them.

So I was dumb enough to buy the "aircraft wiring guide" sold on vans website.

It's "coincidentally" written by the guy who invented the vertical power system. Its not a bad book, but unless you actually want to use the vertical power system get something else. I read it cover to cover in one sitting and then about 30 minutes later ordered the aeroelectrical connection. Like people recommended, its a good book.
