Default Quest! xc from Active Flight Systems

Hi Guys ............At long last we can get hold of the long awaited
Quest! xc from Active Flight Systems. A few pilots have already been
flying with it:

"I think the Quest! xc is the best instrument for PPG I have seen so
far and will appeal to all pilots casual and competition" says Paul
Bailey, British Champion 2004 and Designer of the Bailey Four Stroke.

Geoff Soden of Paramotors UK says "The best piece of equipment you will
ever be able to get for flying"

Paul Hallatt of Active Flight says that Quest! xc is the most
comprehensive instrument for Paramotors, combining fuel and engine
instruments with altitude, vario and flight logging. Weighing in at a
mere 500g this unit will help you fly Longer, Further and Safer than
ever before.

You can get it online at www.activeflightsystems.com or by phoning
+44(0)87004 460 260. (There's a list of distributors on the website)

PS: Paul's looking for stockists and distributors, if you're
interested call +44(0)87004 460 260.
ys ......... If you're interested in Paramotoring

Not a chance spam pig.
Don't post your ads here. A brief description e.g. "We're selling a new
instrument you may be interested in." followed by a link, is tolerated
by most. You don't even have the right news group ass hole.
"Hey guys" Like you know anyone here.
Now go crawl back under your rock.

OK, the guy didn't grovel properly, but his choice of newsgroups isn't
that bad. Why be so rude to a company that could potentially supply us
with useful devices? This is actually a very interesting instrument
useful on powered sport aircraft, including hang gliders. I wish I had
something like this for my motorglider, and for only US$900. The Ilec
controller I have does the basics, but this unit has a lot of features,
such as engine history, I'd like to have. If I were building a
motorglider, I'd consider it. Since it's software driven and has a
flexible sensor package, it looks widely adaptable.

It was a very spammy sort of post. I especially hate the "Hey old
buddy, I got something really great to show you." type of pitch,
regardless of the source/product.

I'm perfectly amenable to "You don't know me, but I'm selling xyz. If
you're interested check out my site www.xyz.com"
The guy selling the velcro pants that W&W now sells used this approach
and got a good reaction (even by me!) http://tinyurl.com/dlegd
The instrument guy just struck me as a stereo salesman.

Incredibly so.

I really loved the endorsements - like, you'd ever see an unfavorable one.

RAS is an international newsgroup, but maybe the guy got fooled and
thought it was American, then made a bad try at "talking American". Or
maybe the hangliding/paragliding groups aren't wound so tight, and the
"spammy" post was right on target. Or maybe he just doesn't know how to
present himself in text - it's not everyone's medium.

It took me less than a minute on their website to decide it was a very
interesting product of potential value to sailplanes. So, I'd say there
was "real meat" at the other end of the "spam".

He named names, and if you are a paragliding/hangliding Brit, those
likely have real weight.

I suggest that a one-time spam for a potentially useful product deserves
a private email that cordially suggests a better way to attract our
interest. It's not like this outfit is trying to scam you from Nigeria.
