Wow.  I wish I had enough money to worry about which avionics shop to give it 
all to.

Having said that, I remember a few years ago when Walter Dodson was 
complaining mightily about the support from Lancair Avionics.  To hear him 
speak glowingly today about Lancair Avionics speaks volumes.  When a guy 
whose opinion I respect changes his tune that much, he's worth listening to.

Beyond that, a guy in my Colorado EAA chapter just got his Europa panel from 
Aerotronics, and he can't say enough good things about them.  I respect his 
opinion as much as Walter's.

I have no first or secondhand knowledge about Dave Buckwalter's shop, but the 
grapevine is pretty quick and he's been around for a while and I've never 
heard anything bad about Avionikits.  Perhaps there are other Lancair 
builders out there that can give more meaningful opinions on his shop, or any 
others out there that you've used or heard good things about.  I don't think 
Brent needed to be so heavy handed in his refutation -- but you've gotta give 
Brent credit for speaking his mind.  I wish more people did that.

Maybe Marv can add to his "builder support" listings a subset "avionics 
support".  Just a thought.
