• 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.

So I'm starting the learning curve of how I need to do all my wiring. Looking at different diagrams I'm a bit confused. I test fit my alternator last night and was thinking about the start and charging circuit etc. Where do you run the power wire from the alternator too? I'm thinking it goes to the post on the master relay (the post that gets energized when the relay is closed) but not sure. Do you then run one large wire, say 4ga., up to a 60 amp CB to power your bus bar? Also, from the same post on the MR do you run a 2ga. to the starter relay?

What do you guys do for a + bus bar? Tie all the CB's together with a copper strap? Anybody have any pics of how you set yours up?
