I followed Garmin instructions very closely and had Pacific Coast Avionics help out with questions. The CAN-BUS wiring is Garmin spec shielded cable, the wires for Wig-wags, strobes, and recognition lighting are also shielded. The aircraft does not indicate any interference in magnetic heading when testing with even all electrical devices on.

Hi Alex, thank you for watching my videos. I’m making them because I wish someone else already had for me to watch during my build! As for fuel storage all BD5’s store fuel in the wings. The A wings and Jet wings are full wet wings, the B wings are wet in the inner 2/3. I have the B wings and they each carry 13 gallons when full. Some of the aerobatic BD5’s also have a small fuselage tank for inverted operation. My aircraft had already been partially built and had the original plan fuel selector and lines. I removed that and designed my own system with individual fuel shut off valves operated from two red pull handles on the panel. If you search KZfaq for “BD5Pilot fuel” you will see a three part video of the fuel lines themselves and another video on designing and installing the two valves. You can order a full set of plans or individual sections from Frank at Alturair, he has been very helpful during my build. You can also get a digital set of plans from the Bede Family Foundation in return for a donation, you can find that here: bedeaero.myshopify.com/products/bd-5-original-kit-plans. My build does not have a fuel pump as it would damage the mechanical pumps used by the carbs on the engine. I do use a gascolator and will install the fuel flow sensor though coming soon. Cheers, Dr Z
