I think it's understandable that there would be delays in development
and certification. What is not understandable is that customers are
not being kept informed.

Perhaps we would have more leverage if we had actually paid deposits
rather than just declaring intent to purchase.

It won't, nor did I say it would, but it would perhaps have provided
an incentive to provide feedback on progress./status. Moot now we
have a report and the assurance of regular follow up.

It is also disappointing to learn (http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/
flarm.htm) that in addition to hardware-related delays "Initially some
secondary features are missing but will be available via software
updates (PCAS Mode A/C display, flight recording, ADS-B target
alarming and dataport output ...)."

Agreed. I will be using mine primarily as a PCAS device and flight
recorder until flarm catches on. Hopefully it won't be too long before
they enable non-flarm functionality.
