Section 4.4.1, item 1 and 2 of the G3X install manual:
"The ... lights should not have a power ground referenced to the chassis of the light assembly that would be referenced back to the airframe ground via the light assembly mounting.
A dedicated power ground should be used and returned as a twisted pair with the power source back into the fuselage ..."
. I am installing my GMU 44 on the rear deck near the tail section of my RV-7A, as suggested by the manual. I also have an AeroLeds Suntail nav/strobe light, which is supposed to have its mount grounded nearby to the aircraft chassis (along with its cable shield and ground wire). This is in direct contrast to the referenced section of the install manual above. Is this going to cause me issues? What is my alternative? Have you seen issues with this? What have you done who have gone before me?
