Dan, you crack me up!

great device. Poor customer service. I had trouble with installation and the technical representative said "we only support dealer installations so that the customer can receive actual hands on training"

And, I have it on good authority that there is a "pleasure" module that Dan's skunk works is developing to be a low cost ($999.99) add on to the basic unit.

Dan is looking for beta testers at the moment....................

Default I'm trying to think of an appropriate response....

.... But can't see through the tears of laughter. I must say, combining the UltraRelief with a Stick Shaker may revolutionize solo flying .... Not to mention cure the pilot shortage in future years.

Is this vaporware, or is that in the next "release"?

Default addressing a need

Dan, I applaud your response to a problem that people are all too reluctant to discuss.

Those of us who fly RVs know how difficult it is to answer that "call of nature" while airborne. Even the "A" model pilots have the difficulty of opening the canopy at least 2" to prevent uncomfortable pinching. In the tailwheel airplanes the necessary 4 to 6" opening, and the huge increase in profile drag as the relevant appendage is exposed to the slipstream can make it difficult or impossible to maintain altitude even at METO power.

I'm sure all of the tailwheel pilots on the forum have learned the hard way to remain firmly seated to prevent uncomfortable (or potentially damaging) contact with the empennage.

Thank you for raising awareness of this problem that affects us all.

Oh no...it's standard:

User programmed options include pulsed rarefaction, pressure drop, and exact control of the built-in aperture heating element.

Proof positive that adding software to do an otherwise simple task is not just mental masturbation.

I laughed so hard I could have used the UltraRelief right there and then.
