Curtis, Playing devils advocate, would all of your family feel the same and not go after all the manufactures involved with the subcontracting to you their equipment to take out their anger in loosing you? I have a family that brought me up to take responsibility for everything that I do, but I cannot say for sure what would happen when I'm gone. If a jury hears that the equipment was checked out by an avionics shop with hundreds of installs without any other problems, they may be swayed in the manufacturers favor. Also, if the manufacturers sell directly to you, they also are abliged to sell directly to someone else that can't even program their VCR. I feel the same way as you, but know that "they" have reasons other than screwing potential customers. Hopefully there will continue to be other channels, though maybe not as good, for the consumers to take to get what makes them happy. Bob L320 ~70% and trying real hard not to think about buying avionics. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
