Would anyone recommend a suitable book which would help me understand
wiring up a glider panel.

Greg Richter wrote a 36 page piece titled "Aircraft Wiring for Smart
People". It was designed to help folks make a better installation for
his EFIS systems and covers a lot that is extraneous for gliders.
However, it covers a lot of basics and will help you make some
decisions. He covers wire size, voltage drops, connectors, tools, etc.
You can download it at: http://bluemountainavionics.com/pdf/...12july2008.pdf.

I don't know of specific books, but I'm sure they're out there. Hope
this helps some.

Here is another good book with practical construction tips and
techniques. Look around the site, there are a number of other free
tips there too.

He used to charge for his book, now it is FREE pdf download!
Definitely worth the price.

Also, read these tips: http://aeroelectric.com/articles/Getting_Started.pdf

Hundreds of pages of good stuff there.

Also look at FAA.gov. All their publications are pre-paid by the US
Taxpayer. All the "official" A&P training manuals there.

Take a look at these presentations which might help. I gave these at
an SSA convention a few years back. I updated them once between then
and now but need to do it again. They are getting a little long in
the tooth.
