Your version of the truth is about right in my opinion (jcmcdowell said:Aveo was buying and repackaging MGL avionics instruments. They were working closely together for awhile, and now less so...
There you have it.Rainier Lamers said:You are correct, we where at one stage involved with Aveo. We decided to part ways some time ago. It was not in our interest to continue.
We developed the wireless intercom but decided at the time not to put this into production (we made 100 sets for an extended field trail of which some went to Aveo). The current Aveo system does not seem to be based on our technology although the unit looks surprisingly similar to ours.
We have a strict non-military dictum for our products and this was in conflict with Aveo which has BAe Systems backing.

Also true. See http://aircraftspruce.com/menus/in/mgl.htmljcmcdowell said:I've read that Spruce and maybe others will be carrying MGL Avionics soon. There is still some deal where all product goes through Matt at Sport Flying Shop (in some fashion or another) and then on to the other distributors. He also is the US repair location so the equipment doesn't need to be shipped back to South Africa for repair.
