• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

From what I can tell my electrical system is wired up as follows;
SD-8 alternator to voltage regulator to 10 amp circuit breaker to battery relay to battery.
The battery only powers the starter and the handheld radio charger.
I notice on the B and C website that they sell a kit to protect against over-voltage and it comes with a filter and light. Is it critical that I don't have this?
Is the circuit breaker sufficient to protect against over-voltage or over charge?
Cheers,
