Hey Deems -
Howzit going? I'm getting back in the swing of things after my surgery, and trying to get a move on with this fiberglass junk. I did have a specific question for you though...
Does the OP tech unit use the Freeflight GPS exclusively? Are you waiting for a resolution there? I'm still smarting a bit from that stuff. After all the D2A fiasco, the Freeflight VFR ONLY thing was just a slap right in the face. I spoke with them after I figured out that my cool remote mount GPS unit makes a nicer paperweight than it does an IFR GPS, and they said that their new unit would be forthcoming. Whatever that means. What's your status with respect to the GPS piece of your avionics puzzle? Inquiring minds want to know!
Also, those door latch thingys are cool lookin! And timely! Any news on when they'll be available? And what about the handle part? I could try to build them myself on my mill, but I'm finding that I have a new respect for CNC operations, and I'm limiting myself to only building stuff that doesn't exist yet! Just adding weeks and months to my build! I did put up some pics of the CNC stuff. It's here:

hope all is going well out there! I can't wait for you to run out of parts already! Cause you know what happens then!

CJ, and anyone else that's interested.....
The OP tech will take input from ANY GPS that can supply it on an RS 232
feed. I also allows for multiple GPS inputs, Each OP Tech display also
comes with it's own built in GPS, the Crossbow AHRS has it's WAAS
'enabled' GPS, and I'm installing the Freeflight Certified WAAS GPS
sensor. (total of 4 hard mounted gps receivers on board) You can select
from the MFD/PFD which GPS you want to be active.The only somewhat
limiting factor is that each GPS needs it's own antenna, and I don't'
really want 4 GPS antennas mounted. I'll use the Freeflight as the
primary and the Crossbow as the backup.
Re Freeflight, - after a long silence while they were undergoing
recertification. they finally said in Feb, they would have Certified
units avail in May. And low and behold, I got a call from Op Tech, May 2
asking me if I still wanted the Freeflight, it arrived 2 day's later!!
(Tru Trak, take notice!!!!!!!). You should not have a problem ordering
and obtaining one in short order.
Caution: the re certified Freeflight cost more than the old certified
sensor.
Re latch's Per recent post from Zack (Dave's Uncle), Dave has now
incorporated the magnet into the 'bullet' enabling the use of Van's door
ajar sensor mod. I have no knowledge of the door handle, as I went
another direction.
Your CNC stuff looks way cool, from an ex-nerd I could see myself tying
up 100's of hours in something like that, better you than me!!!
