Have you heard the rumor the digital version will have an output for driving an artificial horizon?...Also, the planned Mark VI upgrade will be an IR sensor suite for thermal location assistance. (The Mark V will have to be shipped back to the factory for this upgrade.)


Might not want the rules committee to hear about some of this stuff...


Mark IV plank owner...


Typically, when people hear a new version is forthcoming they'll delay their purchase to wait for the new one. Thus sales plummet and the struggling company is unable to fund R&D needed to bring the new version to market - - then they go bankrupt.

I want to assure all that when the new MKVI* electronic, with IR thermal sensing, PowerFlarm anti-collision interface, and Micro-Mems solid state horizon (those contest rules guys won't even notice the micro-miniature OLED display without using a 10X jeweler's loupe) is available, MKIV customers will be able to trade in there analog MKIV for a new MKVI at no charge - - FREE! (Just pay shipping and handling of 30 AMU's.)

*Not all MKVI features will be functional upon initial release. We are concentrating all our efforts on getting the yarn to reliably indicate yaw prior to working on other promised features.
