We put Pegasus Hotellier conections together last weekend: what a pain!
Could they MAKE the access cover any smaller? Hotelliers suck.
I think they just asked me to help because I have
tiny fingers :PPP
The problem isn't the Hotellier fitting, it's the small access port.
My LS6-b has 4 Hotellier fittings (dive brakes and flaperons) that
take less than a minute to attach, safety (LS sleeves that screw over
the fitting) and check all of them. Easy to do, because they are
accessed from the cockpit via a huge door over the spars. Just as
easy to de-rig.
Almost as quick as some of the "automatic" setups I've helped with!
LS4 was just as easy. OTOH, hooking up a G-102's controls is a pain
by comparison. Those hookups (not Hotelliers) suck.
