That's on the list but necessarily rather far down.
The up-front development $time$ is significant. The
manufacture calls for a significant quantity of out-
sourced materials. Further, there ARE already
very capable suppliers of similar products on the
market. A noteworthy supplier is "Mr. Autopilot"
in the person of Jim Younkin. I could not pick a
more worthy competitor.
I'll need access to a flight test airframe too.
I've considered buying or leasing something with
a prop and wings on it for that purpose. In any
case, I still think it's a righteous project with
a lot of potential. I need to make sure that any
investment WE make (my kids are being groomed to
take over AEC business interests) has a high
probability for return on investment.
In the mean time . . .
