Matt,
Thought you might like to know we’ve completed our trip, arrived South Florida Friday noon, No Squawks! The airplane preformed perfectly and Claus is in Love.
FYI the unusual tool that we found on board turns out to be a alternate power source connection used when proper external power connections are not available. This device allows you to plug in to the external power source receptacle on the aircraft and use jumper cables! Could be handy in the Islands. Also did some research and the intermittent alternator inop light is normal. The overvoltage relay trips whenever voltage exceeds 16.5 volts to protect sensitive electronics. The corrective action is just what you said, turn off the Alt. switch and back on again. This usually occurs when starting and RPMs rise rapidly causing a surge in voltage exceeding 16.5 before the regulator can step in and do it’s job. Switch it off and back on and your good to go! So what you said and did is correct and now we both know why!

Thanks for a Great Plane, hope to work with you again.
