				I'm building a VFR Murphy Rebel with an electronic ignition Subaru 
 engine and dual rear mounted batteries.  I've been working on a power 
 distribution plan for a couple weeks and I think I got it where I'm 
 happy with it but wanted to maybe get some input from you folks.  You 
 know - get a few knowledgeable eyes on it and make sure I'm not doing 
 something really stupid.
 Couple notable items,
 
 I am using an internally regulated alternator - I chose not to have an 
 alternator disconnect.  I figure the risk of damaging the alternator or 
 avionics through load dump was just too great.  The B lead goes straight 
 to battery A.  I did however provide a solution for the remote chance of 
 an OV fault by isolating battery A and running off battery B.  Battery A 
 is sacrificed in this case.
 
 The essential bus can be fed from either or both batteries.  The 
 non-essential bus drops out during battery only operation - this can be 
 overridden for preflights etc.
 
 I know I could just copy one of the Z drawings and they were a huge 
 knowledge boost to study but none seemed to fit exactly what I had in 
 mind and I get a lot of satisfaction going through the noodling process.
 Thanks for looking,
 
 Joel
