Aircraft and Lightspeed30-3g conversion to panel power

For my planes, i just installed a 3 vdc buck converter ($6 and less than a cubic inch) in the plane and wire to 3.5mm jacks next to the H/S jacks. Then make a battery replacement from a 3/8” wood dowel. The dowel has small bolts on each end and soldered to wires terminated with 3.5mm plug. This works on the zulu’s, as the batteries are aligned in a row. Not sure it would be as eqsy on a 30 30.

Very easy and inexpensive, though not as elegant as a lemo setup.
