Larry, it's the "pathological" virus. After I saw that I felt dirty! Thanks Don!

We are just guessing here, but it is my belief that since this is for ELSA as well, it takes some sort of approval from the FAA to incorporate such a change in addition to all the hands on work. I know some other improvements and changes were not adopted simply for that reason, too much nonsense to go thru to get it approved.

Cool Oh Ok- Bill

Now I'm a little more educated on this issue. I've been reading about it for a long time, but havent paid alot of attention. I just have read that alot of
-12s were being held up because of the "skyview" issue. So, WRONGLY thinking is was a vendor issue (no offense intended to Dynon), I was just wondering about a different EFIS.

I'm surprised they didn't just go with Vertical Power.

Default Occupy Vans

In the spirit of the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters I propose you guys waiting for Skyview "Occupy Vans". You can camp in their parking lot in tents and sleeping bags and pee on their lawn. Surly they will get the message and at least give you a hat.

We'll need signs.

"Power to the EFIS!"

Default Gas tank

Maybe Van's could come up with an improved (spun glass) gas tank while they are 're-certifying' the 12!!!

I was so disappointed that Don's panel didn't make the front page today.
