  Brent,

  3) I would hope that my panel builder will be able to resolve their
  problem with Direct 2 through Chelton. I don't know what
  legal responsibility Chelton has to clean up Direct 2's mess, but would
  hope they will "step up to the plate".  I also hope that my panel
  builder will "step up to the plate" (and I have no reason to believe
  they won't) if they have to.
  
  You said:
  
   I do not agree with your statement #3 above. Your builder and CFS were
  left holding different ends of the same bag. You are suggesting that the
  guy who lost an arm get a new arm from the guy who lost a leg. Besides,
  if your contract is with the panel builder, do you care a whit what they
  have to do to get you your hardware?
  
  I say:
  
  I understand your point, but I do not think Chelton should get a complete
  pass
  here.  Direct 2 was an authorized Chelton dealer (wasn't it the only one
  authorized
  to sell the experimental version of the Chelton? - correct me if I am
  wrong)  I do
  think Chelton bears some responsibility for what one of their authorized
  dealers does.  I think that other people feel the same way, although I
  don't know whether this has any legal basis.
   
  Also Chelton is in a position to get AHARS at a discounted price and/or
  sell them wholesale.  This might be their sole contribution to the
  resolution of this problem
  but it would certainly be appreciated by their customers.
  
  I understand that there are avionics shops that are watching what Chelton
  does to
  see whether they wish to continue selling Chelton equipment.  Perhaps the
  smart thing for Chelton would be to compromise in order to keep their
  business relationships intact.
