Hi Bob,

I'm in process to install a Rotax 912 in my airplane. Previously I had a subaru EA81 and I had completed my electrical installation per your diagram with the double ignition. I figure an installation with 2 batteries, no alternator, a ducatti regulator. My airplane is equiped for night flight (nav lights, icom A200, intercom, transponder At 50). I use mechanical engine and flight instruments.)

My question: what is the better schema to switch my electrical installation?

By "No Alternator", I assume that you mean no external alternator. But your engine does have an internal dynamo, correct?
Do you have Bob Nuckolls' book? Download it at http://www.aeroelectric.com/Book/AEC_R12A.pdf
Individual schematics can be downloaded at http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Adobe_Architecture_Pdfs/
Z-16 would be a good starting point. I would use a 30 amp fuse instead of a dynamo fuselink.
What kind of airplane is it?
Post your intended wiring diagram to get suggestions from others.

Daniel,

I'll second Joe's answer.
If your engine is a 912, it doesn't require a second battery and Z16 is
adequate.
But your mention of two batteries rings a bell. Do you rather mean the
more recent fuel injected, electrically dependent, 912 iS ?
Then it is another kettle of fish and you'll need several separate switches.

Season's greetings

You're right, I have the internal dynamo, but I saw that someone installed an external alternator. My aircraft is a zenair Ch 601 hds.

Thanks for the info, I check that.

No, it's an old edition 912 UL.

Thanks.

Use heat conductive paste between the metal base of the Ducatti regulator and the airframe. Cool the fins with forced air.

As I recall, the legacy 912 Ducatti regulators
had epoxy-fill bases . . . VERY low thermal
conductivity. Not much opportunity to suck
more heat out of that side. However, a 12v
computer fan blowing on the top fins would
make a HUGE difference.

Yes, the Ducatti Regulator bottom is mostly a non-heat conductive material.
But there is an aluminum perimeter about 5 mm wide that can be coated with
heat conductive paste. Some people use Zinc oxide that they buy at drug
stores. Others use heat conductive paste from computer stores or from home
improvement stores. Rotax spark plugs are supposed to be installed with heat
conductive paste. That same product can be used under the regulator.
