Angier:

My 360 powerpack must be the newer variety with one black, one green, and one
blue wire of equal gages.  The two relays are grounded to the pack's black wire
(to the battery).  I did not go with the grounding plane because it was easier
to create a bulkhead behind the passenger seat without it and simply wire the
ground path.  On your pump I'd call the factory for an explanation.  

Regarding hot air to the canopy, I was going to try to do it but my panel is
full, the header tank is in the way and I have a lot of stuff in front of both
people's feet so routing scat tube was going to be a challenge.   The coup de
grace for the idea was Don at Lancair telling me that they've not had much luck
getting an effective system installed.  Sounded to me like the benefit was
little and the work was a lot.  It would be interesting to hear from flyers who
have opinions on their installations. 

Regarding bid thickness, I must have thin duct tape.  I needed about three
layers of duct tape to match one bid layer.
