Hmmm...let's see now.

Months behind schedule.

Expensive.

Very picky about installation.

Features that don't work or aren't turned on yet.

Documentation and manuals that may leave you with more questions than answers.

Programming and continual updating required.

Primary tech support located in another continent.

Another battery draw.

My retired-USAF-Avionics-tech Dad's advice given to me years ago circling in my head to "never drive, buy or fly the "A" model of anything mechanical, electrical or both."

-Insert your own concern here-

WOW! Who wouldn't want one???


I've got a "Brick" model (it DOES kinda make you wonder if it's appropriately named, no?) reserved in my name...but right now I'm 90% certain I'll forgo the promised discount, cancel my order and wait for Version B, C, D...or whatever when all the bugs are finally worked out and everything is turned on and operational. For the time being, I'll start using the Zaon PCAS that I just ordered for less than 1/3 the cost of the PF to at least keep me clear of the squawkers.

Sure wish the version used in Europe could just have been used here. Understand that was not in the cards for the USA, still...the hassle-factor of this device has crossed my (admittedly low) pain threshold and I believe I'll join the late bloomers and technology Luddites.
