Ya know, I try really hard to not "slam" the competition (defined as
competing products to something that I own),  But when it's related to
safety and a fraternity that I enjoy, I have to share it... 

Is it just me or is this BMA EFIS with AP just a scary solution?  There was
another recent post on the elevator servo going "over center" due to some
out of norm glitch - and they don't use any servo stops.  Luckily this
happened while the unit was on the ground, but just before flight in the
run-up..... Now that is darn scary!  Can you imagine what would happen if
that occurred on "climb out".  BTW, the AP was not engaged

The other thing I just find totally curious.... And it reminds me of my
early days of Linux.  I remember, bring up a box the first time and then
playing the "kernel of the week" game as changes and revisions came
out...there must be 100's of code versions around for the BMA products -
this if each individual unit requires "custom tweaks" :(

Scary stuff,
Alan
