    Unfortunately, fully isolated buses are not possible in this configuration. It would also increase complexity by adding another contactor.

    Does anyone have some advice on how best to trim back the armored cable on EGT and CHTs? Cutting it is simple enough, but trimming it back to allow for connectors is awfully difficult. Has to be an...

    We have been talking through both options. On the B slice side, this can be done, as half of the run is in clear air. There is no risk of entanglement (aka: no material collision between systems) at...

    Hi there,

    Been trying to locate a tape or other malleable plastic that I can use to create ad-hoc (aka: in situ) small fairings or to use to seal various gaps. This would replace the need to...

    Windows that are openable and securable

    As a BD4C builder, I have tweaked a few things and now have Gull-style doors (open upward). This allows a ton of air while on a hot taxiway. However, it may be preferable to also have windows that...

    Update: Worked like a champ. Thanks to cub builder

    I can always make one, but I'd prefer a steel prefabricated component in this case.
