The earlier Cockpits had crap batteries. They would die early and with
almost no warning. They may have improved them, but I would throw the stock
battery away and get another one.
Also, in earlier Cockpits, they would suddenly scramble themselves. Your
plane would crash and you would look down and see garbage on the screen. On
mine, I think the chip wasn't grounded right. They may have fixed this
problem. Both of these problems caused crashes with several people that I
flew with and I had two narrow escapes myself. Hopefully people with newer
Cockpits have not had these problems. This was several years ago.
My Cockpit has not caused any more problems since I sent it in to Ernie to
be repaired and I replaced the stock battery.
