The two relays are grounded to the pack's black wire (to the battery). I did not go with the grounding plane because it was easier to create a bulkhead behind the passenger seat without it and simply wire the ground path. On your pump I'd call the factory for an explanation. Regarding hot air to the canopy, I was going to try to do it but my panel is full, the header tank is in the way and I have a lot of stuff in front of both people's feet so routing scat tube was going to be a challenge. The coup de grace for the idea was Don at Lancair telling me that they've not had much luck getting an effective system installed. Sounded to me like the benefit was little and the work was a lot. It would be interesting to hear from flyers who have opinions on their installations. Regarding bid thickness, I must have thin duct tape. I needed about three layers of duct tape to match one bid layer. Best Regards, Ed de Chazal
