As many of you know, LoPresti has initiated an on-going continuous improvement program for all our products. Unfortunatly, in many cases the associated costs of improvement are absurd. No volume, no payback, but the same certification costs if you sell ten or ten thousand. Thank you FAA. All that being said, I've decided to add the A5G to our AML. (approved model list). We never added the A5G to our nosebowl, Sophia (aptly named for Sophia Loren) because of how few birds there are AND we needed to rework the design... However, it seems I am prone recently to missfires in my cerebral cortex. (my other projects are a left handed spoon and a propeller driven pencil). So, before I do this I want to poll the membership. If you don't want to spend the bucks for a Jaguar cowl (nice product, by the way!) Our nosebowl is a great upgrade. Let me know what the prevailing thoughts are.. Cheers!
