Why does nobody warn you about the new crimp connectors on Cessna 172 harnesses?
I was helping a younger tech at the hangar in Wichita last Tuesday, and he kept fighting with a terminal strip on a 172. The newer Molex pins just slide out if you don't pinch them at a specific angle, and nobody writes that in the manual. I had to show him the old trick of twisting the wire a quarter turn before seating it. Has anyone else noticed the newer connectors are way less forgiving than the 1990s stuff?

Hardly seems like a CRISIS to me.

Yeah honestly I used to feel the same way. Before this year I figured it was just hype and people overreacting. But then I saw how fast stuff like ticket prices for concerts and flights went up, like 40% in some cases. My grocery bill went from like $80 a week to $120 for the same stuff. That's not normal. When you actually add up all the small increases it's hard to just call it nothing.
