Master solenoid

[Kitfox Pilot]

Harlan they should of came with your vertical power.

I will check that out. I could have sworn I had seen some but couldn't find them in any kitfox boxes, I didn't look in the v power box. I will for sure. Thanks!

If I recall they are in sealed electrically protected packaging and vertical power also shows online, I think, the installation of them.

Here’s a good YouTube link.

I went to the vertical power box and they were there, I knew I had seen them somewhere. I even had the instructions printed out from back when I got the v power.. Brain overload at times on this wiring.

FYI, Van's Aircraft parts catalog sell these diodes for the master and starter solenoids all ready to install with terminals attached and shrink tubed-no soldering or crimping required.

Speaking of master solenoids: after beta testing, I just converted to a unit that B&C might start selling soon. It is a quarter pound lighter, draws only 329 mA, and has a built-in diode.

Do you have a manufacturer and part number for it?

[Delta Whisky]

Eric - I might; won't be able to check until maybe tomorrow - starting its first condition inspection - and will get back to you.

Great, thanks!

Eric - better late than never; so saith he that has schedule control challenges. BTW - it does take a special but readily available connector. Recommend that if you do buy one of these, have the supplier source the connector too.
