Yes, we are. We like gagets. Now THAT makes total sense ;-) -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Dude,
As many as possible You're right. The point I was trying to make is that the pressure to convert an existing 430 installation to WAAS in most cases won't be real urgent yet. But it will no doubt become more and more useful to have. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

I am going to be doing more mountain flying though, and would want the terrain feature. However, if you pay to upgrade now for terrain, you are just going to be back in the shop for WAAS later. I can wait for OSH since I only have an old mono GPS in my stack as it is. |

Except, for some guys, it becomes a job defense mechanism. That's worse... -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) I have seen it get worse for those in the industry, but you can usually get a decent sales guy to give you a reasonably straight answer. Management, Marketing, and Principals are the worst. The sales guy wants to sell you again when he moves to the next company, the others play the numbers more. |
