I just bought two of the zeftronics units direct. They were around $100 per. Haven't installed them yet.

Curious to know how everyone is dealing with the famous "flickering lights" of the Skymasters.

It's been my experience that it's not much of an issue when everything is just right (voltage regulators well calibrated; switch, fuse and wire resistance OK, etc.). However, I have had a couple of rounds with it (one right now).

I am really tempted to do a STC for installing a simplified system with paralleling (3-wire) regulators (ala Tom Carr at CPA). Supposedly, this helps the flickering / nervous ammeter problem, and is much better at insuring that the alternators share the load evenly. Curious if anyone has done this and how it worked out.
