Sorry for the unprofessional spelling. It was spell checked but sending the earlier version doesn't help much.

Congratulations! It is encouraging to see continued innovation in the aircraft/avionics arena.
If you don't mind however, permit me to be the devil's advocate for a moment. Looking through your site I see that your single panel, single gyro EFIS system is $19,000 with an additional $3000 for an second display. What additional does you system offer at $10,000 more than an equivalent more established Grand Rapids system or only $10,000 less than a fully type certificated Garmin G600 system? Please don't take this question the wrong way, only it seems on the surface, a builder would be paying more for an equivalent experimental system that does not yet have any track record.

There have been several folks from the Matronics list that have been following the activities of building my own RV10, air data computer, primary flight display, Garmin interface computer, and a Crossbow gyro. All of these components have been integrated into my panel which is IFR legal with lots of innovation for cross country travel.
I took full advantage of every skill I have ever learned in my life to make this happen but mostly engineer, programmer, and pilot. It has been wonderful to lay in bed thinking of ways to make the flight experience more enjoyable and safer then implement the idea the next day.
Now its time for Sara and I to make a second run at creating a business. The first was packaged telecommunication software for DEC computers from 1978-1986.
The prototype panel has been flying since August and I have been steadily making improvements and productizing the components since then. Just last week we finished the first production components for another Watsonville,CA RV-10 panel and its time to open the doors to our new business.
Our web site went live this evening. We loaded it with features and (hopefully) good description of what the panel could do for you. Note that from initial concept the panel was approached as a system design instead of just [quote][b]
