Seasons Greatings to all Netters, and may your favorite Santa be kind to each of us and leave a GPS or other Aircraft goodie under our trees.
With all the discussion of switches and ratings and such, I offer this reminder. We have the right to install what ever we choose in our home builts, but we must constantly tell ourselves that we are building aircraft and having an operational failures usually occures when we are in the air, which is unacceptable. I have found that it is easier to buy the correct type of part if we stick with aviation supply houses. Even then you must investigate to make sure that the part you want to use is designed for that purpose. I have seen KR with all sorts of non aviation items. In building my KR 19 years ago, even I violated good practice. And today occasionally I find that I must upgrade a part or component in the name of safety and reliability.
