Now THIS is interesting!



Press Release: Direct-To Avionics (RECALL ON ALL CROSSBOW 425EX AHRS)

..from Jeff Berlin (Publicity, D2Av)

For Immediate Release

DIRECT-TO AVIONICS ISSUES RECALL ON ALL CROSSBOW 425EX AHRS



Bend, OR, February 21, 2006  Direct-To Avionics announced today a

full recall of the Crossbow 425EX AHRS. Unresolved problems with

Crossbow 420 Series AHRS preclude Direct-To Avionics (D2A) from

incorporating Crossbow in future experimental Chelton Electronic

Flight Instrumentation Systems (EFIS).



"Direct-To Avionics is committed to providing the best, most reliable,

and most accurate components for our Chelton EFIS systems. Our

customers want to know that when they're flying with their families,

they're flying with the highest quality, best performing equipment

available," said Kirk Hammersmith, President of Direct-To Avionics.

"Therefore, in our ongoing commitment to bring our customers the best

in state-of-the-art EFIS systems, Direct-To Avionics will now supply

the Pinpoint Inertial Inc. GADAHRS with our experimental Chelton EFIS

systems."



In side by side comparisons with certified systems by Rockwell

Collins, Litef, and others, and after exhaustive, real-world flight

testing, the Pinpoint Inertial GADAHRS (GPS / Air Data / Attitude and

Heading Reference System) has proven to exceed all performance and

reliability parameters established by D2A.



Based on technology currently used in certified commercial and

military applications, the Pinpoint Inertial unit is the first and

only GADAHRS optimized for reliability while working within the

dynamics of high-performance experimental aircraft.



The shift to the Pinpoint Inertial system has been precipitated by

performance and reliability problems plaguing the Crossbow 425EX.



Copyright (c) 2006 Direct To Avionics Inc. All rights reserved.

Specifications subject to change without notice.



Direct-To Avionics requests that all Crossbow units be removed or

henceforth limited to Day/VFR flight conditions until a control group

has logged 100 hours each without any performance problems.



For details regarding replacement of Crossbow units, please visit the

Direct-To Avionics website at www.d2av.com.



Direct-to-Avionics is the exclusive distributor of Chelton's

experimental EFIS line. D2A also participates in the development and

evaluation of future Chelton systems for both certified and

experimental aircraft. Direct-to-Avionics is the preeminent source for

the most reliable and affordable EFIS for experimental aircraft.

Anyone have a link for "Pinpoint Inertial, Inc." (the new supplier)? 

I've happily used XBow IMUs in the past but have never even heard of

the other guys.

Doh!  Thanks Pat!  I came up dry with Google and didn't even consider

the brute force approach.



First my spell checker eliminates my ability to spell.... and now

Google has eliminated my ability to find websites manually.  A true

slave to teknowlogee... er... technology...

do not archive

 Interestingly, if you google them, you get nothing, not even on GADAHARS.

If you noticed the comment at the bottom of their page



            We are currently accepting dealer and OEM inquiries only. Click 

here to e-mail us.

      Clearly not interested in talking to the individual builder, so 

appears they are looking for someone to use their unit in an EFIS in a 

production run.   Too, bad, I'd like to get one to see what could be done 

with it.
