    My first quick look reveals a BZ controller, which is know on these forums a a real POS! I have found from personal experience, that the power output through a BZ controller is often less than if you used no controller at all. Please do a search on these boards of some more info on these controllers.

    Other than that, it looks like a nice clean system,

    PS. Welcome to the forum. There are some very smart folks here who have forgotten more about RE than most of us will know.

    I noticed you bolted your L feet dirrectly to the roof! I see no sealant or did you use any? Any leaks? I've been thinking of doing this or biting the bullet and using FastJacks.

    I sealed the bolt, no leaks

    Cool, I had asked before if anyone had done this.
    You just squirt 3M 5200 into the hole then tighten the bolt right?

    Or did you use some other sealant?
