Hamid is wondering where the Mr. XXXX and Mr. YYYY's are who are alleged to
have the BMA EFIS. I wonder also, but if and when they do exist, then the
LML will be full of postings by these guys either saying how horrible the
product is, that they really like it, or something in between. I think we
can safely wait for that to happen before we try to submarine the
manufacturer.
John, the issue is whether these people exist. One of the reasons the poster felt comfortable going with BMA was because there were lots of units flying. I am just pointing out my experience that in the past such claims have turned out to be urban legends and that he should try and locate some people that are actually flying. There are claims that are very hard to prove or disprove: "This is the best product", "The performance is adequate", "You do not need those features"..... All those are things that two reasonable people can argue about for years and not come to a conclusion. However, claims like "we have 50 airplanes flying" are easy to verify. Once a company makes a claim like this and is then unable to back it up, to me their credibility goes out the window.
I am willing to wait weeks, months or years for a few LML subscribers to buy and actually fly the BMA system and then hear what they have to say. However, if the company makes the claim that 10 members are already flying with their system, and the fact that we have not heard any complaints from them is an indication of the quality, then I would at the very least want to know who these members are.
Regards,
Hamid
