A big congratulations is due Kirk Hammersmith and his new company,

Direct 2 Avionics
Distribution & Support
(541)504-8300
kirk@direct2avionics.com

Many of you know Kirk from his previous position as Lancair Avionics Manager. 
He has given me the permission to announce that as of May 1  Kirk has an 
independent company that is the world wide Chelton Sierra Flight System 
wholesale representative for the experimental dealers and customers. He will 
be adding other products but this is good news for the SFS customers. He will 
be supporting all dealers and there customers to get all questions answered 
and any support that the systems need. 
Kirk met with me Sat. morning in Bend, OR to calibrate my SFS's newly 
installed AHARS, a Crossbow 500. It presently requires a little different 
calibration process that only Kirk can do. He turned on my new Stormscope and 
interfaced it with the SFS. My TruTrak yaw servo was installed but we need to 
programed it and flight tested all the above. The new AHARS is the one used 
in the Certified Chelton Flightlogic units and is so accurate and stable that 
I now need to adjust my mag. compass to the SFS, and without a compass rose, 
which is less accurate.
Kirk was very important to me when picking out all my panel needs and it 
turns out that he was right on everything. While he won't be selling direct 
to the end user he will be available for all of us that are sometimes 
overwhelmed by the rate of change in Avionics and just how to make those 
decisions. Send him an email of congratulations or just to ask questions. He 
is very busy setting things up so that he can be of even more value to us, 
the end customer.
Lancair Avionics is left with a very strong group of people with the most 
experience in building panels for the Lancair aircraft. I and Kirk will still 
need all the folks at Lancair on into the future. (Thanks, Gary and Jon for 
fixing my MX 20).

Good luck to all,

Jim Hergert
