As you may remember, my plane has been experiencing annoying problems since this spring.
A warble that we were hearing when we transmitted eventually became audible to tower and finally comm 1 became so unreliable, that we made it a habit to dial in tower in comm 2 whenever we used comm 1 to talk.
ATC would occasionally complain about our transponder and we got into the habit of recycling it from time to time.
Then there was the power dive our autopilot put us into a couple of times which we couldn't cancel with the disconnect button. Only turning off the autopilot master would disconnect.
Finally a mechanic has found a loose connection to the avionics master that is scorched from arcing. We hope it is the source of all the problems. We had 3 hours of flight on Friday and Saturday, and none of the symptoms came back. Keeping fingers crossed.
