After inspection, I found mine were loose and needed tightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Antiseptic, In the original post you stated that when you first checked the ground resistance was a tenth of an ohm an after you worked on it it “dropped” to a third of an ohm...what is wrong with this picture?

Anticept Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 First, it's not anticeptic Second, I said 10th of a volt. Voltage drop, which is putting a voltmeter across a suspected problem area under load, can tell you if it's a dirty ground. Resistance checks do not always tell you if there is a problem.

Madhatter Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Flight design has the worst electrical wiring I have ever seen on any aircraft in 45 years. Many aircraft have rats nest wiring but not even this bad, except for one aircraft which had twin wire lamp cord. I am changing all wiring in my sw to meet better standards including aircraft quality circuit breakers, wire and other components. I am going ELSA, tired of begging Germany for a lot of common sense changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I've seen other LSAs use really cheap electrical parts, and it's disappointing. Flight design isn't the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
