    • 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.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).

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,
