loose connections

You are absolutely correct. Big hands do no go together with skymasters. I have had numerous problems after work has been done in the avionics bay.

As a matter of interest, if you have a KCS-525 compass system or a flux gate compass and the DG becomes intermittent or appears to periodically stick; then check out the small 5 pin connector on top of the flux gate compass out on the port wing.

I spent, literally, thousands of dollars only to find out this connector was prone to corrosion. There is a BETTER connector out now (later version) that has better contact grip.

The avionics shop always seem to leave off the defroster hose on pax side as well as the cooling hoses to the lower portion of the radio stack!

Not surprized it was the connector, they usually are the first to generate problems.
