Re: Charger and battery
My maintainer is connected via the approved harness to the battery relay terminal and airframe ground. Yes, it was a pain to get that cover off, but you only have to do it once... Steve- Did you use the "BM-AIK2A" kit that is shown on the Concord website? I would like to wire tie the conn...

Potential Radio Interference?
So...I'm thinking of hauling a 28" square outdoor expanded metal (or aluminum not sure which) patio table to FL. The top is like a wire mesh. It's packed flat in a box that I was going to load in the back. Does anyone think this will cause radio interference? It may interfere with the bluetooth...

Re: Flight Bags Saga
+1 on the Diamond Backpack. I wish these were available in the states. I had it delivered to a friend of mine in France who brought it with him when he came to visit me in the States (pre-Covid). Very nicely made backpack.

Re: LEMO adapter cable
You've got me thinking, I wonder if you could pull the power off an unused jack and use it for a USB port?

Re: Maximizing Lycoming IO360 Climb Performance
The governor has never been overhauled (since I've owned it) and I don't see a record of an o/h in the logs.
My mechanic adjusted the "clocking" two splines and now I get 2690 static RPM, so that appears to have been the issue.
Thanks for your suggestions.
