And here's the same CH grips with the relays built in. Wiring is soooo much easier and you dont have to fabricate mounts for the relays. I think the relays add like $50 to the total cost. That's less than buying two relays from Ray Allen Co.

Quite simple until a relay goes T/U. Can you replace the relays that are built into the grip? I assume the answer is yes...just playing devil's advocate.

Half full, half empty. If you gotta replace a part, you gotta replace a part. In my case if a relay goes bad, I'll be ordering a new one from Aircraft Extras . com. If I had the new grip like Scott I'd be ordering a new grip from CH Products.

I'm just encouraging folks to consider ease & cost of maintenance. If you'll only fly 20 hours a year maybe that's not as big of a consideration.

Or I could argue that there are more physical wire connections with the external relay setup. six and one half dozen of the other. One thing's for sure, I'll be no where near 442 hrs/year as dan has averaged!!

The guy at CH products was quite knowledgeable. He has a -6 if I recall.

Does anyone want to buy my two spare Ray Allen relays?
