The push pin power connections are weak and prone to wear. A more positive, durable power connection is needed.

The slide on mount fitting arrangement on the 740 is extremely weak, loose, can detach when unexpected and is generally a poor design. The 720 t-slot arrangement was a somewhat better but still a weak spot. I'm considering epoxy to secure the ram mount ball to the 740 case. Probably a detriment for future trade in value.

I second the motion for a better power connector. The insulator in the power plug slides out of the plug on the aircraft power cable sometimes. So far, I've been able to retrieve and re-install it. I now carry a spare power cord. Although they are a bit large, I recomment the Anderson PowerPole connectors. They are robust.
