Beech and no doubt some others used a more

'aviation' vetted connector for ground power

called the "Aerostart" . . .

replacement connectors?

    Unfortunately, no. But thanks for looking! The

    "Piper" style ground power plug is a Cole-Hersee

    product

   . . . first popularized by Piper for aircraft and

   adopted by quite a few others. In fact so many that

   FBO ground power carts are often fitted with mating

   plugs.



   The Aerostart product didn't seem to catch on and

   only made it onto a few production models. It's sort

   of the 'beta-max' of ground power connectors. Perfectly

   good and perhaps even superior to the truck connector

   but alas . . . for lack of a blessing and support by

   a major manufacturer . . . it's toe hold in the marketplace

   was tenuous at best.



   I think if I owned an airplane fitted with an Aerostart,

   I'd convert it to something more popular.
