Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high quality, it actually doesn't sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio & intercom quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still) an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision for it on the wiring diagram.
The answer I got back wasn't very clear, so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric memory. I complained about this
as
well and they claim that future upgrades will address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio to others.

Listers, I have a Hartzell Type F governor on my RV-8. The cable support bracket
sold by Vans does not appear to fit this particular model. Does anyone know
if there is another source? Also, the covernor control is spring loaded to
return to the screw stop. I assume this is the fine pitch stop. Am I correct?
If someone has a similar governor please send me some info/pictures detailing
your cable attachment. Thanks in advance.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have
a separate stereo audio input in which auto cuts off when a signal comes in
from the audio panel. I'll continue to use that if I feel the need for music.
I hope XCOM continues to improve in all areas customer & technical as I think the
basic super light and small, dual watch radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine
far.

frequency of the human voice and when the music exceeds
these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom quality is excellent
however.
The second beef is they advertise (still) an extra audio
input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected this and
even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision for it on
the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear, so I just assumed
it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with it. Nada. So I
e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago not to have the
extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio output from
my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested using an audio
panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in intercom
and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into the pilot side
headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it won't transmit alarms
if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't hear them
either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't mute the music.
This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric memory. I complained
about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will address this, but
it will
require changing of the LCD, which they claim can be done
by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however I can see it being
enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have enough issues
to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these few issues
prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio to others.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT EFIS to
the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio input in which auto
cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue to use
that if I feel the need for music.
=09
I hope XCOM continues to improve in all areas customer
& technical as I think the basic super light and small, dual watch radio
w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am also impressed
with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have a couple

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio input in which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue
to use that if I feel the need for music.

I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areas customer & technical as I think the basic super light and small, dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am
also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have
a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high
quality, it actually doesn't
sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear,
so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with
it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago
not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested
using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in
intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into
the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it
won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't
hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't
mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric
memory. I complained about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will
address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however
I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have
enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz
for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these
few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio
to others.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio inputin which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue to
use that if I feel the need for music.

I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areascustomer technical as I think the basic super light and small,dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am
also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have
a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high
quality, it actually doesn't
sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear,
so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with
it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago
not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested
using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in
intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into
the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it
won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't
hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't
mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric
memory. I complained about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will
address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however
I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have
enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz
for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these
few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio
to others.

address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however
I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have
enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz

Overall I do like the radio, however these
few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio
to others.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio input in which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue
to use that if I feel the need for music.

I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areas customer & technical as I think the basic super light and small, dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am
also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have
a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high
quality, it actually doesn't
sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear,
so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with
it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago
not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested
using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in
intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into
the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it
won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't
hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't
mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric
memory. I complained about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will
address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio inputin which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue to
use that if I feel the need for music.

I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areascustomer technical as I think the basic super light and small,dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am
also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have
a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high
quality, it actually doesn't
sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear,
so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with
it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago
not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested
using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in
intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into
the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it
won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't
hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't
mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric
memory. I complained about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will
address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however
I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have
enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz
for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these
few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio
to others.

very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear,
so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with
it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago
not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested
using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in
intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into
the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it
won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't
hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't
mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric
memory. I complained about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will
address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however
I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have
enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz
for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these
few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio
to others.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio input in which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue
to use that if I feel the need for music.
=09
I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areas customer & technical as I think the basic super light and small, dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio input in which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue
to use that if I feel the need for music.
=09
I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areas customer & technical as I think the basic super light and small, dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am
also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have
a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high
quality, it actually doesn't
sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear,
so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with
it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago
not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested
using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in
intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into
the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it
won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't
hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't
mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric
memory. I complained about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will
address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however
I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have
enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz
for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these
few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio
to others.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio inputin which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue to
use that if I feel the need for music.

I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areascustomer technical as I think the basic super light and small,dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am
also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have
a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high
quality, it actually doesn't
sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09
The answer I got back wasn't very clear,
so I just assumed it would be clear
when I got the "real" instructions with
it. Nada. So I e-mailed them again
and was told they decided 2 years ago
not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested
using an audio panel, but one of
the attractions of this radio is the built-in
intercom and no need for an
audio panel. I ran a shielded wire into
the pilot side headset output, which
works well with the advantage that it
won't transmit alarms if they come on
while I'm transmitting, and the pax doesn't
hear them either. Unfortunately
they aren't amplified this way and don't
mute the music. This is something I
would like to see addressed.
Third is that it isn't an alpha-numeric
memory. I complained about this
as
well an
d they claim that future upgrades will
address this, but it will
require changing of the LCD, which they
claim can be done by the user. I
don't have a problem with this, however
I can see it being enough of a
problem for many, so that they will have
enough issues to not do this. I
really don't want to send it back to Oz
for an upgrade.
Overall I do like the radio, however these
few issues prevent me from
wholeheartedly recommending the radio
to others.

Interesting. My plan is to wire my GRT
EFIS to the audio input. My headsets have a separate stereo audio input in which
auto cuts off when a signal comes in from the audio panel. I'll continue
to use that if I feel the need for music.

I hope XCOM continues to improve in all
areas customer & technical as I think the basic super light and small, dual watch
radio w/ integrated VOX is just fine far.

Hi Lucky;
I received my radio awhile ago and am
also impressed with the small size
and overall quality, however I do have
a couple of beefs.
First is the music input; It is not high
quality, it actually doesn't
sound
very good at all. I suspect that it may
be that the amp is optimized for the
frequency of the human voice and when
the music exceeds these frequencies it
clips the signal. The radio intercom
quality is excellent however.
The second beef is they advertise (still)
an extra audio input, but they
dropped this about 2 years ago. I'd expected
this and even e-mailed about
this last year when I didn't see a provision
for it on the wiring diagram.
=09

so I just assumed it would be clear

not to have the extra audio input.
This is nice to have for feeding the audio
output from my AOA, engine
monitor, fuel guardian, etc. They suggested

the attractions of this radio is the built-in

| Subject: | BMA EFIS Lite question |
--> RV-List message posted by: Charlie Kuss <chaztuna@adelphia.net>
Listers,
I have a question for those of you who have installed a BMA Lite unit in
your panel. What spacing do you recommend between the Lite and the
instruments (assume 3.125") around it? I ask because the web site drawings
show that the screen on the EFIS Lite extends rearward of the panel for
what appears to be (I don't have an EFIS Lite yet) about 1/2". I'm
concerned that if I place my instruments to closely together, that the
thickness of the screen will block my view of the surrounding instruments.
Suggestions please.

Diddo. Buy the next wider hinge (denoted by the part's last "dash
number". I think it is MSxxxxx-4. Look at the part number stamped on
the current hing then replace the -3 with a -4. The only difference is
the width of the hinge's flat surface. A -3 will mate fine with a -4.
It's expensive, though. I think its about $10/ft. Remember though that
you'll get 2x as much as you need because you only need half of the
hing. So if the flap hinges are four feet long, you only need to buy
four feet of hing. Use one half for the left side and the other half
for the right.

| Subject: | Advanced Flight Systems AOA Press Release |
--> RV-List message posted by: RobHickman@aol.com
Advanced Flight Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of the
line of angle-of-attack instruments from Proprietary Software Systems, Inc.
The product line includes both the AOA Pro and AOA Sport models. AFS
currently manufactures and markets the popular ACS2002 computerized engine=20monitor
system. This addition strengthens Advanced Flight Systems' already strong
position in the avionics market.
Company President, Rob Hickman indicates "This acquisition represents an
exciting expansion of the Advanced Flight Systems product line. We are committed
to expanding our aviation products offering and feel the AOA line makes an=20
excellent expansion category. Mr. Frantz has created a truly best-in-class
system that fits our goal of always providing state-of-the-art products, solid
value, and superlative support. We are in this business for the long run and
our customers will see a continuing stream of improvements to both our current
products, and new products."
Angle-of-Attack indication unlocks Navy carrier pilots=E2=80=99 secrets and puts
a
priority on safety. All approaches should be flown at the same optimum
approach angle-of-attack not the same IAS. General aviation pilots can now do
precision approaches just like the military and airline pilots and accurately
gauge Vx, Vy, best glide, L/D max and maximum endurance AOA because
angle-of-attack is not a function of weight, bank angle, fuel load, density altitude
,etc.
This patented revolutionary angle-of-attack instrument is based on a long
known aerodynamic principle. The AOA includes a color display and aural voice
system which warns of critically high AOA, gear position errors and
installation/hardware errors. There are no ugly probes, vanes or protrusions to
slow
you down or accumulate ice.
Currently in the process of relocating AOA production to its facility in
Portland, Oregon, AFS looks forward to a smooth transition that should be
complete by January 2005.

You can get real good deals on eBay. For a headset try:
http://motors.search.ebay.com/headset_Pilot-Gear_W0QQsofocusZbsQQsbrftogZ1QQcatrefZC6QQsocolumnlayoutZ3QQsotrvalueZ1QQsotrtypeZ1QQsamotorscategorymapZ6028QQfromZR10QQsocomparecolumnlayoutZ1QQsorecordsperpageZ50QQsacategoryZ26440Q26catrefQ3DC6QQsotrZ2QQsosortpropertyZ2Q26sosortorderQ3D2QQcoactionZcompareQQcopagenumZ1QQcoentrypageZsearch
You can get a good head-set for less than the price of an el-cheap-o Head-vice.
It is not worth buying a cheap head-set, because they usually stop working in
short order. Just not worth it.
You can buy new, used, dealers, private individuals on eBay with a wide selection.
I have got great deals from eBay and never had any problems on many items,
as a buyer or a seller. Sellers and Buyers all get ratings (feedback) from each
other that you can review. Any eBay member with good reviews is likely to
be trustworthy. Also some items can be bought outright with a "Buy Now" feature,
used in some auctions, so you don't have to wait for the auction to close.
(Auctions can run 8-10 days typically).
You also can get a PayPal account that has your pay info, address and credit or
bank info. (This is separate but owned by eBay- and is thru secure Internet connections).
Once set-up you can pay for your winning auctions (or receive payments
if selling an item), so when a auction you win closes, you can pay right
away with a few buttons strokes and have it shipped next day. Very clean and
efficient, delivered to your door.
Tips:
Don't over bid. Know what it is worth and what you want to pay. Don't get caught
in a bid war. There is always good selection and another item will come along.
You can also see what items have sold for by looking at completed auctions,
to help figure what to bid. Also you can get radios, instruments, parts of all
kinds. You can even set up a search that will notify you if a particular item
comes up for auction. Cool.
Have fun. G

Some of the best deals are found by searching for misspelled
words. If you are looking for a cheap headset, search for "(headset,
hedset, headsett, heddset, "head set", "hedd set)". Hardly anyone else will
be bidding if the item is poorly listed.

I was looking for aircraft grade titanium bolts a while back and only found
some very expensive sources or web sites with no prices, but I did find that
there are a ton of them listed on Ebay by lots of different sources. Of
course there is no telling if they are good or a bunch of rejects that came
out of a dumpster.

What would be the best place to get one of those Gauges, to check

I did adjusted as per the limitted instructions I got, to within 1/8 from
the bottom of tank...
What is the best way to do this, without having to remove tank, more than
second time......?
Left is perfect upto 2 gallons...
I know fuel gauges are only as reference...still I would like to have them

>>David,
I'm also one who thinks having an onboard fire suppression system could be a
good life saving measure.
I did some searches on the Matronics archives (RVs) and found mostly
deriding comments on such a system.
Their point being, because of the very high air velocity going through the
engine compartment; it would disperse the Halon gas before it could
extinguish any fires.
YOU DON'T WANT HALON FOR THIS REASON... what you need is AF3... Aqueous Film
Forming Foam... It's what the formula one race car guys use for onboard fire
supression. So much better than Halon in this usage for many reasons. I was
probably one of the ones deriding fire suppression systems back in the
archives... before I discovered 'A-triple-F'. I was working some with a friend
to bring
some of these systems to the experimental aircraft market before he
unexpected died and the whole idea kind of dissolved in the wake of his death.
If
there's interest, I imagine the idea could be revived.
