Wiring this switch has me a bit confused. Seems like it should be straight forward, but ....
Question: (don't laugh, i goggled the **** out of this without any luck)
1. Which magneto is left when sitting in the plane?
The instructions that came with the switch say to connect terminal 5 to nearest structural member and use shielded wire. However, the following article located here, http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/MagnetoSwitchOptions.pdf in the next to last paragraph says p-lead shields should be grounded to the air frame/engine at the engine end.
FYI: I have the Bogert P-Leads from Aircraft Spruce.
Questions:
2. Should both ground wires from the magnetos go to Terminal 5 (ground)? 3. Should a separate shielded ground wire run from terminal 5 to the air
frame structure?
If I go by the Aeroeletric article (linked above) it appears that I only run ground wires from the magneto to the switch and no other ground wire is required.
Thank you,
