There is another clever solution for hooking up the Hobbs to your engine:
Comco Ikarus (http://www.comco-ikarus.de/index_english.html) sells an
electronic filter produced by Utz Schicke (producer of the Schicke GR6
regulator for Rotax engines) which hooks directly to the AC wires of the
alternator. Whenever the alternator is in action (even with the regulator
shut off), the Hobbs (or an other brand of hour meter) gets DC power and is
active too. I got my filter for 65 Euros.

At SnF this year, my best find was a small device for engine time recording.
It is completely independent of and connections to the rest of the aircraft
(power or engine). It time the duration of vibration!
When the engine is running, the timer is going with its own 5 yr battery.
Its made by ENM and I purchased it at PSA aircraft Supply (Lakeland, FL) for
$22 (half retail from ENM)
