I've worked on several projects that used Aerotronics for the
panels, most recently, the all-glass one we've put into DIemech's RV10 which
will be our demonstrator for the new PBS TP100 turboprop engine. Their
workmanship is top notch, as is the quality of their finished product, including
the documentation. Their support during and after the installation is
first class, and everyone at their facility treats you like an old friend
whenever you call. Their prices are competitive but the value of their
total package is priceless. If I could say more good things about them I
would. And BTW, if you're serious about glass, don't fail to check out
Advanced Flight Systems... that's what we went with for the RV as the engine
operates on a CAN bus and the folks at AFS were the only ones willing to tackle
that implementation. Their products, documentation and support are also
first class, And no, I don't have any financial interest in either
organization, I'm just happy to share my feelings about people from whom I've
received exemplary service. I hope this helps. <marv>
