What did you do with your RV this weekend (3/23 - 3/24’ish)

Yesterday I took my Baron to Pahrump, Nv and picked up a prop for my RV-4. This one is metal. I have a Catto currently installed. Not sure that I’ll ever install it, but…. Today I woke up and saw that the weather was better than the forecast called for — rain all day. So I drove out to the...

RV-8 Rear Battery Access Door Pictures!

Twenty years ago when I built my -8, I sort of pioneered an access door for my rear mounted batter in the “hat shelf” of the baggage compartment. It’s too small becasue I built it with “scrap on hand”. I am now building a Rocket with essentially the same baggage configuration and rear mounted...

Toggle switches for mags …sf3543
I have used this set up on several planes and it works well for me.
standard toggle switches for mags and a off/on/(on) switch and LED for the starter.
the stater switch is obviously off in the off position. In the middle position the starter circuit is armed and the light comes on. In thIs position I can use a remote momentary switch on the infinity grip to start or use the momentary on function of the toggle. After start up I turn off the starter circuit. A relay is used as part of the circuit to make it work.
I like it but YMMV
i have a circuit drawing if you are interested.

Toggle switches for mags

I plan to eliminate the ACI switch and install two toggle switches for the mag/Surefly. What switches do you use. I would prefer locking toggles but open to suggestions. Also what do you use for the start switch When replacing the ACI. Thanks….
