	My company is working on an interesting HUD technology and has
been in discussions with a number of certified airframe manufacturers to
assess the level of interest.  The response has generally positive.  I'm
curious at what price point a light weight (<5 lb) 40 degree FOV
day/night HUD would be compelling to Lancair owners.  Should it be
self-contained, or interface with the Chelton and Avidyne units? Our
plans include certification, but I'm curious how this would factor into
your collective purchase decisions. We would anticipate the system would
be retrofitable to existing airframes.
	Finally, what flight phase and weather would you find a HUD most
useful?  What if we were to include air traffic 3-D graphics on the
display through a mode S interface?  
	Thanks for your help with our informal "market research"... it's
interesting that the topic of HUD's should come up.
