Take a look at the presentations on this topic from the 2007 SSA
convention at; http://www.geocities.com/jhderosa/av...presentations/

As always here are my standard warnings/comments/prognostications...

- You can't just throw anything that seems electrical into an aircraft
and stay legal and/or safe.
- There is no aviation aisle at the local Radio Shack, hardware or DIY
store.
- Know if your ship is standard certified or experimental and
understand what you can do yourself versus what needs to be done or
supervised by an FAA licensed technician.
- Every battery should be fused. If you only have one fuse in the
entire ship, it should be right at the battery.
- Use Tefzel wire throughout. Speaker wire, lamp cord, 14 ga house
wire, and/or doorbell wire (I have seen them all) are not to be used.
Wings and Wheels is a good source for Tefzel.
- While Klixon breakers (and resetable breakers in general) are great
and widely used in powered airplanesl, unfortunately they loose 0.5Vdc
to 1.0Vdc of your battery voltage. Fine if you have a generator
putting out 13.6Vdc but not so wonderful with a fixed power source.
