I know I said that I wouldn't comment about the subject any further. But, I'm not talking about a Willie Nillie install. I'm talking about installing a system myself and having a authorized shop test and sign off my work. If it doesn't work, they can indicate what is wrong, give some suggestions and see me the next time I want to get through the test and signoff. If the install passes the test, then there is no difference between me (the manufacturer) installing the system and the avionics shop installing the system. Passing the install test is the important part of the install. I'm not sure that I agree with your statement about if the manufacturer's sell to me they would be obligated to sell to someone else. I am the "manufacturer" of the plane......that should qualify me for the ability to buy the equipment. Other people do not fall in the same category regardless of whether they can program a VCR or not. The analogy of the engine install is the best yet. Is Lycoming fearful that my family may sue them because I installed my engine? I think the answer to that would be 'no'. But, the question of what my family would do is an excellent question. Probably something that I should have thought about before I decided to build one of these things. Or.....maybe not.
