No battery - no rig...

Equip your rigger with a long power lead and the same connectors
as your plane battery. Then you can use the plane battery when
you forget something and run down the rigger battery ;-)

PS: Yes, I did need to use that feature once, oops.


I decided on an IMI PR due to having had other IMI equipment including a
OMR, and all do the job well.
One point, about 2 years ago at annual inspection, a plastic tube end bung
was found in an inaccessible place in the bottom of my Discus fuselage. It
turned out to be from the OMR (not Power rigger), and must have gone in
through the side where the wing fits. I now glue them in.

Dave do you mean to plug the lead into the Charge XLR on the control
panel?
Also can anyone identify the small green plug and socket used on the
battery?

No, battery connector so you can unplug the dead inbuilt battery and
connect to a glider battery.

I believe that's an MPX power lead as used by SH for battery connections.
While I haven't seen the connector inside the IMI,
MPX is what I used and suggested to IMI as it matched the glider battery.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Dave, yes the MPX does look like the connector fitted to the battery
on the IMI PR.
Regards and stay safe
