An aircraft with a full IFR King stack (certified single, less than 5 years old from a reputable manufacturer) came in with two radios dead and others failing. Bad voltage regulators and filtering have blown up literally $10k of avionics. Now, I'd always been told this was possible but had never seen it happen. Well, here it is and the darned thing is out of warranty. Ouch. So, don't skimp on your electrical system or you just might fry all those beeping, blinking, and flashing lights! Eric
