Well, I guess I should have prefaced my post with: "I was thinking about grounding my wing attach fittings." The idea was to run braid to the FWD fittings only so it would serve as a ground point. Then I don't have to run a third wire all the way back from wingtip lights fueltank etc to the firewall as any connection could pick up ground at the attach fitting. The main reason I had the idea as there was a bolt hole there already, and it's easy to add a star washer and a couple of wires. I should have also added that you probably want a seperate wire to connect the outer and inner fittings together, as if you rely on the bolts to give you good contact, you could have problems... i.e. radio noise, bad connections, hard to track down etc etc.
That was when I was concerned about having a ground path for the fuel tanks to prevent static buildup. I'm relying on my grounded fuel sender to do this now. So, simply grounding the wing attach fittings is not a great idea in itself, but if you want to use the wing attach fitting on the removable wing as a ground point, it's an idea. -- Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Freiberger" <rfreiber...@swfla.rr.com> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 19:13:07 -0500 To: "KR builders and pilots" <kr...@mylist.net> Subject: RE: KR>Ground / Earth Wiring/ Stall Warning > Ross said, > I would recommend > running a 1/4" ground unshielded braid aft to the elev horn > mount, and mount it there.
