No messy boards on the back and $300 less than a Clear Nav. Richardwww.craggyaero.com hmmm ... ok, so looking at the mix of off the shelf components, how come it is only 300 less ... shouldn't it be half the cost of a ClearNav? Or is the difference reflective of a higher mark-up? It sounds like you are confusing production cost (labor and component cost) with selling price, which is usually set by market considerations, not per unit cost. *I doubt anyone selects their next soaring instrument based size of the markup! The price it "should" be is up to the seller. Why not ask NK if their price "shouldn't" be twice the cost of the Ultimate? Personally, I'm hoping Richard has a huge markup on the Ultimate, because that will encourage others to enter the market with better or cheaper units. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes"http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * * * Sections on Mode S, TPAS, ADS-B, Flarm, more * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" atwww.motorglider.org Eric, Yes, I think you are correct here; I did stray into marketing strategy - but my real focus was on understanding component/development costs. And yes again, we do not buy instruments based on markup - although many of us do seem to buy wing tape based on that consideration ...;-) |
