Hold the button???

Oh my back aches...

I got called out to download the ECM data on a 915iS yesterday and I was thinking that "surely, there must be a maintenance switch for this" as I had to hold the power button for several long minutes while the B.U.D.S. software extracted the logs.

While I am a pilot SEL as well as an iRMT and A&P mechanic, I've not flown LSA with Rotax injected 9 Series engine, let alone a 2025 VL3 being dragged along behind a 915iS

So the pilot walked me through the start procedure and included holding a power button and cranking until the generator came 'online' then the power button could be then be released...

So I found myself kneeling on the wing, holding the power 'moment button' for what seemed like tens of minutes. The only easy thing of all this was releasing and pushing this power button to cycle in / out of 'Maintenance Mode'

I was daydreaming about a maintenance switch that could be used to hot wire this button...
