Hilly: Why not change it over to 12 volt? The manual shows how. Only hitch will be the vibrator. I’m probably going to change over to a solid state one for mine.
I had thought of that but have let it drop while we get the aircraft back into the air. I guess I am being a bit slack by buying one – even if I can find one!! Once we are flying again, I will reconsider going down the conversion path.
