[simpits-tech] Tech Help Needed: Aircraft Power

Another idea, is one we used to use on the old Phantom. When we had a system
that was no longer installed, we would use a wire tie. You pull the breaker,
and wrap the wire tie around the CB and trim off the excess. This worked
pretty good for example when I was stationed at Luke AFB, our old C models
had the ECM system removed and ballast installed and the breakers
"collared". Then if you need to you can always cut the wiretie and reset as
needed. Just a thought.
