Fuse Boxes - Who used them?
I know i am early in the build but I been thinking of what electrics components I need to incorporate into the plane. I'm reading the AeroConnection book and what Bob has to say about fuse boxes.
Other than Mike in Texas with his 9a who else is using the automotive fuse boxes instead of circuit breakers in their build?
Thanks,

Do a search in the forums to read the various threads...
There's been a lot of discussion about this. I don't think there's a wrong way, only a matter of personal preference. If you read the book you understand Bob's logic in going with the fuse blocks. I used the fuse blocks per Aero' Bob in my 7A and am happy with that decision. I'd do it again.

Fuses in mine
I went with fuses and am happy with it. The ten-fuse block drops down between your knees for service. Takes no panel space and saved a couple pounds.

ATO fuses in both my aircraft. Lighter, cheaper, more reliable IMO.
