Quick breakdown on my RV-10 grounding. I have a ground from the Engine (close to the starter) to engine mount. Then another ground from the back of the engine to the firewall. This then goes to grounding tree behind the panel where ALL my other grounds are run to. Which then had a #2 line ran all the way to the tail terminating on the battery.
I did this to hopefully prevent grounding noise but that didn't work. I had alternator noise (Just alt 1) when it was doing the initial charging after start, but would die down once it leveled out. I also had landing light noise, but not taxi light noise, which use the same wire run. I decided I would deal with it later.
Today I went flying and noticed a complete lack of static noise. Even had to double check that I had my lights on a few times. When I landed I had to pull the top cowl to measure a few things. I noticed the ground I had between the firewall and the back of the engine broken at the terminal and was hanging there.
I'm going to replace it with some braided stuff from B&C and do better on my crimps. But is there any reason that just doing two grounds to the engine mount won't suffice? Has there ever been an accident or anything blow up because the RV only utilized engine to engine mount tab grounding? I'm more apt to do that, especially if it seems to solve my radio static concerns.
