I had a homebuilt airplane that would lose electrical power about 15 minutes into flight. A little while later it would come back then repeat. Finally traced it to a bad solder connection that would lose contact when heated and reconnected once cooled. I have seen similar problems in electronics (TVs and computers). It could be a break somewhere that loses contact when it gets warm.
Every connection point at this time has been spit polished to a keen shine. When in question, wires have been replaced with new wire, slightly oversized application appropriate wire. Once I get this back in and I am still getting an overcharging from the alternator, I will pull out what hair remains.
I missed the overcharge. Could there be an overcharge protection shutting the system down? I know such systems exist but am ignorant as to how they work.
