And, how about a reduced cost back seat repeater model for the two seater trainers out there...


resi,

We considered that, but concluded it would be much safer to have full redundancy with two individual MKIV's. They will almost always "sync up" just like magic, then continuously update each other so they stay in step . . . it's really quite amazing. Plus with two you get a free thermal centering/emergency tornadic condition indicator. If the front MKIV is pointing off to one side, and the rear MKIV is to the opposite side, you are either in a tornado or have accurately centered one of our strong Minden thermals.

Beta testing is almost finished on our Student Harassment Instructor Training verion of the MKIV. It comes with a handy remote giving the instructor complete control of the MKIV SH&T (e.g. the harassed student can be standing on the left rudder pedal and the MKIV will still be hanging way off to the right). Great fun for bored instructors.
