My 2 cents worth is that you need either a closed loop or some thing to prevent the rudder pedal from going all the to the floor, or firewall. This is recommended in one of Tony B's books. And the reason is shown by a friends accident back in the mid 60's he was flying along in his Luscombe

Phil, This is a issue with a lot of electronics, and there are "Standard" designs for protecting the desired items. Check out http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/circuits/scr_overvoltage_crowbar/scr_over_voltage_crowbar.php There is usually a fuse or circuit breaker "upstream" of the circuit

Jim, You've brought up some very good points, I've seen Zeners used like you said, when there is a spike big enough to trigger them, they become a solid short to ground. SO they need to be replaced after they trigger, but they do save more expensive electronics from DEATH. And yes I've replaced
