Thanks, Bill. I would love to meet up to see your plane and meet everyone at the EAA chapter, however, in speaking with my wife I've been advised that tomorrow is not a good day for me to do that. Because of that, I will have to respectfully decline your invite at this time.
I read about Blue Mountain and it's too bad really. It seemed like they had a decent avionics system. I hope you get your equipment back from them. There was a notice posted that they were looking for someone to buy the software code and continue development. The thought crossed my mind to look into the possibility of acquiring the software and having a go at it, then reality set in. I know a fair amount about Linux, the OS behind that platform, and I've done some programming over the years but I'm not proficient at any programming language right now. It's not hard to pick up something new, but it's just not something that I've stayed current with. Of course there's other issues to work through as well. In the end I decided not to even start a conversation that I probably couldn't realistically do anything about given my present situation.
Cheers,
Ryan

I am located at the Aurora IL airport, have a completed KIS 4 place fiberglass plane with 13B in it, have about 10 hours flight time on it and am currently grounded because my EFIS (Blue Mountain) is out for repair, and they are out of business.
You are welcome to come see my project anytime. Also, you might want to check out Chapter 153 that meets on the second Friday of each month at the Schaumberg airport.
I am also a member of Chapter 579 at Aurora, and our meeting is tomorrow night (22nd) and includes a safety seminar on runway issues. Check faasafety.gov for details.
If you want to come to the meeting tomorrow night, we could go over to the airport and kibitz on the plane.
