If you are unhappy with the reliability of your trailer to vehicle electrical connection, I recommend upgrading to this http://www.powerwerx.com/powerpole-a...lash-boot.html



This boot uses the Powerpole self-cleaning stainless steel spring contacts.

A lot of people are using Powerpoles for other connections and may have already invested in the crimping tool

Just make sure to have handy a pigtail to adapt to the plug that everyone else at your flying area uses. You'll want them to be able to pull you out of the cow pasture when you've accidentally left the keys to your vehicle in your pocket. ;-)

Really?

By the way, I hope that L-13 at least got a useful amount of flying in between the time my club sold it and when the spar A.D. took effect. It was the first glider I ever flew and the one I soloed in.
