I've never owned one, but I've never read anything but negative
commentary. My suspicion is elevated by the fact that they haven't had a
product release in years and their website never seems to receive
updates. That may indicate a lack of funding for development, laziness
or cutbacks depending on the situation. Personally I stick with the
mainstream candidates which have a chance of being around tomorrow.

I wanted to find out if anyone has recent experience with performance
and support from Blue Mountain. I have an opportunity to buy an EFIS/One
from someone who hasn't been satisfied, but most of the negative posts
I've seen seem to be several months old. Any current info will
appreciated. Sully

Sully,
I work with Grand Rapids, Advanced Flight Systems, Chelton, Dynon, EI,
Honeywell, Performance Aircraft Engines, MT propeller, ECI, Light Speed,
JPI, Trutrak, NAT, and Blue Mountain. I deal with all these companies
directly not through third parties. Blue Mountain out of the list above
is a 0 out of 10. Out of the list they are the worst by far, both in
product and customer support.

| Subject: | Removing D-Sub sockets |
Fellow tronners....
Is there a trick to removing D-Sub sockets from the connector?
I have the tool from radio shack (I have actually destroyed three of them) for
the standard sockets. My trouble is that I can't get the tool to go past the
base of the pin to where it would release the 'holding' fingers in the connector
assembly.
It has to be either the tool or my gorilla fisted technique..... every once in
a while, I can wiggle while holding my tongue right, and it'll go in to allow
me to extract the socket.
I have two sockets remaining - I need to get a new tool - is there a better one?
Thanks,
Ralph

No thanks, I have no interest in using their proprietary AP with that
setup regardless of what screen size they slap on it. As I said, I've
yet to hear anything good coming out of that camp.

| Subject: | Re: Removing D-Sub sockets |
Not sure what the RS tool looks like - I have used those from B&C in
Wichita. They are pretty fragile, so ordered two.
I have found that removing the tool and moving it 180 degrees to the other
side of the wire sometimes helps, as does some wiggling as you found out.
Sometimes, one is simply able to rotate the tool 180 degrees alongside the
wire while it remains in the socket.
