Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2007 9:53 am Post subject: Visit to Emagair

As promised, I finally took a day off last Tuesday

and drove to Azel, TX to visit Tom and Brad at Emagair.

I only had a few hours to talk but it was a drink

from a firehose.



These guys are a uniquely talented and willing team

of individuals who can close their eyes and see a

product that does not yet exist . . . and bring

it to market in a practical, measured and honorable way.



If there's a down-side to their product line, it's the

torrent of new and useful features that "get in the

way" of making money. There's an old saw that has

circulated around my craft for decades: "At some

point in time, you shoot the engineers and go to

production."



At the same time, it was refreshing to visit a

facility and converse with the principals in an

operation that is constantly pushing out the

boundaries of the best-they-know-how-to-do. I

just retired from an environment where the last

five years was expended putting band-aids on 15-30

year old designs.



We had a very productive meeting. I walked away

with some exciting ideas on how the technology

and processes they shared could become part

of an effort to elevate the functionality of

products for my TC aircraft customers. I'm

looking forward to an interesting, exciting

and productive future with these guys.



We agreed to put our heads together and get

synchronized on the most useful recipes for success

and I'll be updating my references to Emagair

products in the 'Connection. Hopefully in the

next 30 days or so. Right now I need to make up

for the day I blew off to go "play".

   Uhhh . . . sorta. I'm exploring potential

   opportunities to do things for others that

   my last billet deduced were of insufficient

   value to exploit. However, I'm discovering that

   the industry's affliction with MBAD (masterful

   business management disease) is pretty wide

   spread. I'll give it a try but I'm not going

   to die on that hill either.

Bob,



Thank you from all of us "builders" out here who look to you for insight and 

guidance.  Just want you to know we appreciate all you do and especially the 

"CEUs" you continue to garner.  Anxiously awaiting the re-draw on the P-Mags 

for Z13/8...

I was jerking your chain..    My dad "retired" 2 years ago, and has

decidedly less "free time" now than before.



MBMD, MBAMD or whatever is very prevalent in all walks of life.  Certainly

it's in government too (I have friends/siblings there).  It's just there

aren't the normal market forces in government...

Regards,



Matt-
