Have you heard the rumor the digital version will have an output for

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...

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.

Have you considered offering custom fiber options for the yarn? Hemp
offerings may become more popular in CO and WA in the near future :-D
