PAR100EX
Dear John:
If you placed your order in April, you will be getting your unit by the end of June!
As of yesterday, PAR100EX is complete!
The PAR100EX is performing exactly like is was designed to do. The ship date has always been end of June, and we are ahead of schedule!
We are now bringing it into production which generally takes about a 2 - 3 weeks. Good news is that our second prototype run actually required no hardware changes, so we have a handful of units that will be shipped next week to dealers who already placed orders.
But because of the number of units in back-order, new orders will either be shipped by end of June, depending upon how quickly the sales ramps up, but certainly by mid July. I know that Stein has ordered some units, and he is on the early back order list, so if any other builders what to get one sooner, give Stein a call, he may have one that is not sold.
The learning curve we have now is what the demand is going to be. By the size of our back order list (which is by far the biggest we have ever had on a new product) so that we'll have the number of radios we have in stock, so that we will have our PAR100EX by mid to late July on the shelf, like all of our products are.
Place your order now, might get your unit by end of June of mid-July for sure.
Time for me to give credit to our entire team. This has been one fun and rewarding project. Nothing like this has ever been done before, and the PAR100EX was conceived because of my lurking here on Van's Airforce! I get lots of ideas from our pilot community and this one has also been the inspiration for our PMA4000 audio panel many years ago.
I hope the PAR100EX will be just as successful!
I have posted an interview that I did with Tom Haines of AOPA that describes the audio panel, you might want to see what you'll be getting soon.

Thanks for asking John!

With the announcement of PS Engineering's PAR100EX just before Sun#Fun, I placed an order at the beginning of April for it along with a harness for it and some additional avionics with expected delivery in mid-May. I was told today that delivery from PS Engineer is scheduled for mid-June. Has anyone received one of these units or are we in a situation of a premature announcement of a new produce?
