Net
I agree - I believe the limitation on the Baggage Net (160 lbs) is the limitation on the net itself and its attaching structure, and not the floor structure. The maintenance manual details the...

Good work!
Bill,
Glad to hear you found the problem. That is such a strange issue to actually notice, but now you are assured your system works as it should, when it is needed. So nice to have the "parts"...

Sorry for the delay
Bill,
Somehow, you are creating a ground with your lead tester, and if that diode is bad, it could be closing the solenoid. I am having a difficult time though now that you tell me yours was wired...

Bill,
Yes, if you move the generator fuse wire to the downstream side of the master solenoid, it will impact the standby/run system, as it will no longer be connected directly to the battery. For...

Here is a snap shot of your wiring diagram. Is this how it was wired before - or does this reflect how you have moved the generator wire now to the other side? The four posts on the older...

Motor
Hi Tom,
I am not an expert on the Skymaster, but an AME/A&P for quite a few years, so I will offer a couple other spots to look at that are even cheaper than a CB.

Did you find a solution
Hi Pat,
How did you make out on installing the flow sensor? I am getting ready to install the G4, and have the same question you do.
Thanks,
