Why do you think leaving it off most of the time will extend its life?


Seems to me that the two wear items in the electric AI are the brushes in
the DC motor and the gyro bearings. Also seems logical to me that both will
wear a lot less when not turning. As noted in previous post, this strategy
seems to be working for us. I would certainly entertain contrary wisdom
from anyone with more specific knowledge.
