I know this has been beat to death, but I need some help understanding this grounding issue.. I am wiring my RV8 and what I plan to do so far, is this.
1. I have a ground from my firewall battery connected to the firewall with a 5/16 brass bolt. I have a grounding strap from the engine to that same bolt.
From there I have a #6 cable going to a forest of Tabs mounted on the bulkhead behind the Instrument panel. The forest of tabs is insulated from the bulkhead so its only connection to ground is the # 6 wire ate the firewall listed above.
2. I plan to ground everything , all avionics, Efis, Lights, Fuel pumps Flap motor, virtually everything to that forest of Tabs.
Does this make sense? Will it cause a "ground loop" because my avionics share a common ground with everything else?
I have tried to get a clear answer on the Aeo electric forum but never seem to get a clear yes and no answer.
Thanks
