REFLECTOR: Blue Mountain EIFS

[Alex]

I didn't even ask how much that trade in would be- but I didn't even think
it would be that bad-  I guess they will re-use the screen and some of the
input transducers and send the old board out to folks who have a hardware
failure- I was also promised the same things as you- not sure if you have
read the other posts about map scaling and their attitude about that, but I
have the sales brochure that I received from them before purchase which
clearly shows interface to WX 500 and WSI weather, both of which I was
counting on when I sent them my money- now they are claiming that it is
impossible for the gold box units to do this- straightforward false
advertising and misrepresentation- they can give us the G4 for the
difference in price (full trade in value) that is all I am willing to do for
them- 
I will put you on the list of folks in the same boat and we will see about
what needs to be done here pretty soon......

Alex,
I also have a BMA EFIS one (gold box) for my XLRG but I am not anywhere near
ready to fly. =( I am interested in the BMA discussions because I bought my
system with the understanding that as the software matured, BMA would make
the new improvements available through periodic software updates.  I had no
idea that they would stop making improvements to the system I bought and go
to another setup. When I talk to Craig at Sun and Fun, he said yes he would
take my (never been out of the box) system in trade for a new system for
$10,000 - let me see... I paid $12,500 and he is going to give me a $5,000
credit on a new system... I don't think so...  Anyway, I will be interested
to see what becomes of this discussion. 

Bill Barker XLRG N8870L, The Woodlands, TX and Gulf Breeze, FL.
