Jim,

 

I have no help for you with locating a loaner GADAHRS, but as I am in = a similar situation to you (dead GADAHRS) I thought I=E2=80=99d let you = know what I learned from Cobham.

 

They apparently only have a single person working to repair GADAHRS = units (and who know what else). My unit was sent in about a week ago. At = that time I was told that the repair backlog was 8-11 working days. That = is, after my unit arrived at their shop it would be 8-11 working days = before it was looked at. The good news: repairs are generally quick and = easy and they have a good supply of replacement parts. The bad news: = they used a fix-rate repair cost structure. And it is not cheap (as in I = could buy a new Dynon AHRS (or two!) for what the Cobham repair costs). = Another nail in the coffin for the Cheltons I=E2=80=99m = afraid.
