Paul, as Sam said, I have been told the truth by Dynon concerning delivery,
performance and support. Not much else to say:-)

It seems every once in awhile on the RV List this complaint surfaces. So is
this an ongoing issue or an isolated case? Customer service is THE most

Hi Steve-
I think I might have gotten mine from Lyc themselves, but I don't recall
for sure. I know Earl's doesn't carry them.
IIRC, there should also be a restrictor in the vent line for the mechanical
fuel pump.

You can remove the drive gear from the magneto and install on your EI. It
is not considered to be a part of the mag. I found that out too and got one
from Mattituck.

That would be true if it was good, but when you wait forever for
something, and then it is questionable whether you will get it in a
working condition or not, is not good customer service.

| Subject: | DeltaHawk engine decision |
Hello everyone;
Just a short note thank you all for your wise and sober counsel and to
advise you of my decision not to send Deltahawk a deposit. I will get on
with my building and hopefully have them get on with the development and
certification of their fine looking engines. Perhaps I am a bit naive
thinking this is " THE " next best engine but as a purpose built a/c
engine burning jet fuel and with all the other things going for it I'll
maintain my enthusiasm until they prove me wrong.
For those of you interested in the Deltahawk I finally discovered Doug
Reeves www.VansAirForce.net alternative engine section this weekend and
there is a lengthy discussion on Deltahawk and other diesels.
I was quite surprised that no one else chimed in with the claim of
having been approached about a deposit but then perhaps there just isn't
the interest I thought there would be. As Mickey Coggins said " most
pilots are conservative, sceptical and risk adverse ", maybe he's right
and probably that's the way it should be.
Thanks again and with spring just a day or two away we can start
thinking summer flying. Now how am I going to make my 8 into a coupe?
Ralph in Delta B.C.

| Subject: | Re: Bleeding Brakes |
Andy, what I do is once the caliper is ready to go back on I "pre-bleed" the
caliper by filling it with fluid so you are not pushing a bunch of air
through the brake lines and master cylinders. I also don't drain the fluid
out of of the lines; when removing the caliper I stop the line up with an AN
plug. If you do it right, the brake will not need to be bled. If you're
quick about disconnecting/reattaching the brake line to the caliper you will
only get a few drops on the floor by doing it this way.
Regards,

| Subject: | Gamut Services- Carbon Fiber Canopy |
Buyer Beware! I regretfully am posting this information to warn other builders
of the fraud committed by Gamut Services and it's owner Charles Wilhite.
Today I have contacted an Attorney and initiated legal action against Mr. Wilhite
for failure to deliver a carbon fiber canopy that I paid for in full nine months
ago. He has ignored all request for a full refund and has given me nothing
but empty promises in return. He has gone into hiding, shutting down his web
site, won't answer his telephone or emails. Myself and five others I know of,
out of possibly 13 sales, have been ripped off to the tune of thousands of
dollars and are starting a class action law suit against him, to recover our losses.
If you to have been defrauded by Gamut Services and wish to join us, then
contact me for details.
This kind of business dishonesty cannot be tolerated in the aircraft building community
and my warnings to other builders will hopefully prevent future victims
to this fraud.

| Subject: | Re: still waiting on Bluemountain |
I will admit up front I am an unabashed BMA fan and happy owner of 4 BMA EFis's
and 2 autopilots.
With one exception my experience with BMA has been pleasant and rewarding.
I have over 600 hrs flying behind BMA, much of it IFR.
The bottom line is the BMA units do what I want them to at a great price.
The Launch of their Gen 4 products was bungled, egeregious, and inexcusable. Delivery
was 8 months after I expected it.
The units are now installed and doing everything I ask them to. There are some
bugs and they do not do everything they are advertised to do but these bugs are
trapidly dissappearing.
I think rather than hearsay you should spend your EFIS dollars on a unit that fits
your budget and does those things you think essential.
If your only goals are fast delivery and out of the box plug and play then BMA
is not for you.
I know many happy Dynon, BMA, and Grand Rapids owners. The common theme is the
units do what they expect them to.
I also know some unhappy owners of most manufacturers. The common theme is the
units do not do what they need to fulfill their flying requirements.
Before you buy any unit talk to, and if possible fly with an owner of that unit.
Before you listen to any advice about one company or another ask the giver of opinion
if they own one or have flown behind one and if so how much time do they
have using or installing them.
If their answer starts with "well I know sombody, or I heard that, or I read" then
you need to seriously discount their opinion.
Bottom line is they are all good units, the question you need answered is will
they do what I want done at a price I can afford.
This is a big decision that you will have to live with the entire time you own
your plane. If you are unhappy with your avionics you will be unhappy with your
airplane. Decide based on fact and need, not rumor and innuendo.

That would be true if it was good, but when you wait forever for
something,
and then it is questionable whether you will get it in a working
condition
or not, is not good customer service.

Well, I call BM again today and Sheila said that the units were due in
today and I would have mine by the end of the week. She then emailed me
to let me know they had shown up there. I'll let you all know if they
arrive as stated.
