LASAR, what to think
The incident, to be sure, was unfortunate, but my own LASAR had more than 800 hrs, and the new owner, a friend, is now pushing 1000. The majority of my use of LASAR, was on my Arrow. Being active in the Cherokee group, other Piper owners bought LASAR. There were a couple of breakdowns, but in both cases, Unison was more than accomodating. Whether or not the product, any product, is good or not, is still only as good as its representation.
The Cheroke group has quite a few users, and in all cases, all had nothing but praise about Unison.
We have all "heard" of those who have had some problem with a given product, and at the same time hear of others that rave about that same product.
My own experience was with Gill batteries. Used them for a long time, until I got my first bad one. It was still in warranty. They made good on that battery.
The replacement lasted just barely within the warranty, when it failed. Still I was willing to try again. Yes, the entire electrical system was checked and double checked. I received a thrid replacement. Impossible to have 3 failures in a row, after so many years of fine service. Number 3 died in the same manner, shorted cell. I switched to Concorde. problem solved.
I think 3 out of three is sufficient to say the products performance was unacceptable, but others are still using Gill and when I complained, Gill came through, so service was not an issue.
After 7 years of LASAR and many "tales" (from others), performance and experience with the company was excellent.
To be sure, at least one has had a bad taste of the product, but others rave about it. I have already purchased LASAR for my RV10, it should be interesting.
