Default Any new peeps out of NavWorx?

Just checking to see if anyone has heard from NavWorx in any form....
I have started another thread to help each other out with tech issue....
I have some help lined up for me and offer my environment (SL-70, 430W, MX-20, AFS3400EE, and GRT Mini-AP) for testing your -x12 and -x13 units.

I believe everything is on hold until the FAA makes decision on proposed AD.

That should happen within 60 days.

I cant imagine the FAA's action in anyway limit Navworx from replying to CS emails, answering the phone or at least posting an update for their customers.

The FAA may have provided the bullets, but the damage appears self inflicted. Had they at least posted status updates to make it appear they are fighting the good fight, most of the customer base would have hung in there and supported them with more emails and phone calls to the FAA.
It appears Bill has moved on, maybe we should also.

I tend to agree with you Tim.

The owner has lost interest in the company he founded.

Least he could do is say its on hold pending the proposed AD.

But not a word, its like he doesn't exist.

He owes money to guys who have received nothing, may be in a hole keeping his head down.

Reminds me of the BD5 days. Really wanted to build one of those but decided to wait. Lot of people lost big $ on that . Myself, I wound up with a 600 EXP but it still works great.

Well .. I started the replacement process today. Sent my 330 in for the ES upgrade, ordered the Garmin GPS-20A for a WAAS position source and ordered a Pathfinder Remote for ADS-B in.

I've mapped out all the wires from the NavWorx that I can reuse. Should be about a weekend project. Sadly I'm going to lose ARINC into the 430's for traffic other than TIS-A which will still come from the 330ES. I should have everything in place and ready when the 330ES get's back in 10 days or so.

It would certainly be a nice gesture if NavWorx customers got a waiver on the ADS-B prior-use for the $500 it would help take some of the sting out of the process.

I'll let you know how it works.

Regards,

David

Default NAVWORX Update, Words From Bill Today

I had asked Bill several times to post an update on the Forum, but for reasons only he knows he has not done so, but he did respond to my request for an update several hours ago today and agreed that I could post it here on the forum;

Cecil,

We're waiting on the FAA to finalize the AD. Once this happens we will move forward with sales and support of our products.

Best Regards,

This should be a good datapoint for anyone doing business with Navworx in the future. I gave him money very early when he first stated selling the EXP and I got a good price. However, he promised delivery of the equipment in a few days for almost 9 months straight. He rarely responded to my inquiries and I learned back then that I will never send another dime to he man. I paid for dual radios in my EXP that he said would be activated last fall. That hasn't happened.

Caveat emptor for anyone who hasn't already learned their lesson. He isn't going to change, so don't expect him to.

Don
