<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> No question about it --- 12Volts. You give up a bit of weight for bigger wires, but you save a bundle because 28 V gadgets are more costly, more difficult to come by and I think sometimes more difficult to deal with. Any weight savings in wire may be nullified by heavier boxes. SFS can use either 12 or 28. Garmin 430 just came out with a 12V version; if you have an older one you need a converter to go to 28V or you need a 28V system. Jet peanut Gyro (2 1/4") for backup requires 28V a/c but some come with inverter (d/c to a/c) in the box. A 6 Amp converter 12V to 28V d/c is available from AmeriKing for about $200 I think. It weighs about 2# (ouch) and will run both of the above mentioned units.
