Default Jeff Bennett leaves Cambridge Aero Instruments

Hi,

It will be interesting to see what plays-out in regard to the parts and
Cambridge name. Roy Ridgeway has expressed interest in selling what's left,
but hasn't put a price on it. Since new 302 sales have been extremely slow
for the last year or 2, it seems to me that the only value is in the parts.
Hopefully Roy will see it that way too.

I would be interested in buying the parts, but probably can't afford them.
I can currently calibrate, re-seal and replace backup batteries in 302s. If
I had access to parts I could do much more.

Gary is not interested because he's very busy with ClearNav work.

Dickie Feakes is a very experienced 302 support person in the U.K. He has
agreed to repair 2 units that are in need of repair. He has some parts in
his stock - including the parts necessary for the 2 repairs.

I sincerely hope that some was will be found to support 302 units going
forward.

Good Soaring,

Paul Remde
Cumulus Soaring, Inc.

Gary & Rodger need to come to an agreement, assuming Gary even wants to
support the 300 series, we need to officially dissolve the no-compete or
whatever has kept Gary from working on the newer cambridge stuff.

Someone Must offer repair service for the thousands of Cambridge units in
the USA.

Understand, we are not talking about the ability to calibrate or to make
simple repairs, Paul and Dickie are capable of that, from what I know Gary
is probably the only person who can realistically trouble shoot and repair
these things for the Soaring Community.
