Default Becker vs Microair

My first Becker went back. The second is fine if the volts are high. 12.5
I guess, but I cannot tell because the voltmeter on it always reads 15.1
(on 12V batteries). I would prefer not to buy another Becker. Surely
there MUST be a better alternative?


Sounds like your second Becker should go back, too; however, I suggest
you first swap it with a another glider with a same model Becker that is
working properly. That could tell you if the problem is the Becker or
the stuff in the glider that is causing the problem.
