Well now that we found their website, we know that they think highly of =
themselves and that they are too busy or important to talk to mere =
pilots but we know almost nothing else.  Who are these guys?  What =
design process went into their product?  Has it been tested?  Has it =
been used in actual flight by normal pilots in a variety of a/c with =
different EMI issues?  I assume Direct To tested the 425ex before =
selling over 100 of them but that didn't prevent their having a problem =
that led them to publicly flame an established and reputable =
manufacturer.  Why do they (or anyone else) think this product will =
work.  I certainly hope it does but the history of non-certified low =
cost AHRS suggests that there are typically some growing pains, even =
when the product is made by an established AHRS vendor.  Are we hearing =
all this hype because the product hasn't had an opportunity to fail YET =
or is there something that only dealers and other important people are =
being told?

FWIW, about 8 hrs on my 420 and not a hint of a problem yet.
