Now THIS is interesting!

Press Release: Direct-To Avionics (RECALL ON ALL CROSSBOW 425EX AHRS)
..from Jeff Berlin (Publicity, D2Av)
For Immediate Release
Press Contact: Jeff Berlin 646.528.9696 Jeff(at)d2av.com

DIRECT-TO AVIONICS ISSUES RECALL ON ALL CROSSBOW 425EX AHRS

Bend, OR, February 21, 2006 Direct-To Avionics announced today a
full recall of the Crossbow 425EX AHRS. Unresolved problems with
Crossbow 420 Series AHRS preclude Direct-To Avionics (D2A) from
incorporating Crossbow in future experimental Chelton Electronic
Flight Instrumentation Systems (EFIS).

"Direct-To Avionics is committed to providing the best, most reliable,
and most accurate components for our Chelton EFIS systems. Our
customers want to know that when they're flying with their families,
they're flying with the highest quality, best performing equipment
available," said Kirk Hammersmith, President of Direct-To Avionics.
"Therefore, in our ongoing commitment to bring our customers the best
in state-of-the-art EFIS systems, Direct-To Avionics will now supply
the Pinpoint Inertial Inc. GADAHRS with our experimental Chelton EFIS
systems."

In side by side comparisons with certified systems by Rockwell
Collins, Litef, and others, and after exhaustive, real-world flight
testing, the Pinpoint Inertial GADAHRS (GPS / Air Data / Attitude and
Heading Reference System) has proven to exceed all performance and
reliability parameters established by D2A.

Based on technology currently used in certified commercial and
military applications, the Pinpoint Inertial unit is the first and
only GADAHRS optimized for reliability while working within the
dynamics of high-performance experimental aircraft.

The shift to the Pinpoint Inertial system has been precipitated by
performance and reliability problems plaguing the Crossbow 425EX.

Copyright (c) 2006 Direct To Avionics Inc. All rights reserved.
Specifications subject to change without notice.

Direct-To Avionics requests that all Crossbow units be removed or
henceforth limited to Day/VFR flight conditions until a control group
has logged 100 hours each without any performance problems.

For details regarding replacement of Crossbow units, please visit the
Direct-To Avionics website at www.d2av.com.

Direct-to-Avionics is the exclusive distributor of Chelton's
experimental EFIS line. D2A also participates in the development and
evaluation of future Chelton systems for both certified and
experimental aircraft. Direct-to-Avionics is the preeminent source for
the most reliable and affordable EFIS for experimental aircraft.

Anyone have a link for "Pinpoint Inertial, Inc." (the new supplier)?
I've happily used XBow IMUs in the past but have never even heard of
the other guys.

Doh! Thanks Pat! I came up dry with Google and didn't even consider
the brute force approach.

First my spell checker eliminates my ability to spell.... and now
Google has eliminated my ability to find websites manually. A true
slave to teknowlogee... er... technology... Smile

do not archive

Interestingly, if you google them, you get nothing, not even on GADAHARS.

If you noticed the comment at the bottom of their page

We are currently accepting dealer and OEM inquiries only. Click
here to e-mail us.
Clearly not interested in talking to the individual builder, so
appears they are looking for someone to use their unit in an EFIS in a
production run. Too, bad, I'd like to get one to see what could be done
with it.
