Thanks to all who have posted great tips and references to help me understand the electrical system. The pieces are are coming together in my mind and my confidence in this aspect is much higher.
Now I have a similar challenge to understand the engine-related systems. I've read parts of the Bingelis firewall-forward and engines books, but again these are mostly detailed tips on performing installation. I also have the Orndoff systems video, which is very nice, but again is really about how to install actual hardware on the RV itself. What I want first is a high-level overview (maybe a block diagram?) of how the engine, fuel system, oil system, exaust, etc etc all fits together in a typical small aircraft.
Any suggested reading?
