A well-won truce.

How many years did that cost him?

I have an interest in this thread - I am one of the 800 and stand to loose $4100. I haven't been able to figure out why you are even in this thread, since it is obvious you aren't a stakeholder. Are you here just to revel in other people's misery? Please just go away. You are crapping all over this thread and for those of us who would like to simply share information, it's difficult getting past the smell.
I never said that the truce was without cost.How many years did that cost him?

I don't remember what it cost Bob. It cost me a bit over ten years.

Navworx did a horrible job in writing that. I've read it several times since they published it and every time, I wonder why they don't find someone to summarize their argument with a set of bullet points for the certified version and another set of bullet points related to their experimental product.
Instead, they try to create fear of midair collisions and claim the FAA is sabotaging their business. They need to clearly identify the key issue for each product and clearly disprove the FAA's line of thinking. AOPA did a very good job of boiling the issue down in the recommendations in this letter:

Nobody has ever won a war with the FAA.
Some have won battles. Some have negotiated a truce.
Nobody has ever won the war.
Nobody.

Glad you decided to join the party in a timely fashion.
But, I'm sorry......who are you again?
I was trying to obliquely make the point that you lose even if you fight to a truce. You're spending your time and money against the time and money of a bureaucracy with infinite resources. They can afford the fight. You can't.
But, I'm sorry......
Well, I am glad that we finally agree on something.

It sounds to me as EAA/AOPA is coming in on the side of NavWorx. At least that's how I read it.

Their price to value ratio is a little obscene.
Clearly, you're a low time pilot! (I guess its the putdown du jour)
I don't know. Sounds like AOPA is throwing Navworx under the bus.
I thought it looked more like..
"We'll list everything we know, ask FAA to tell everyone more, and couch our position such that if they reply and say no, we look like we did something, and if they say yes, we look like we did something, and if by some miracle whatever hard on FAA has for cheap Chinese GPS modules goes away, we'll get to declare a great victory for all members, just like we did on Medical Reform. And it won't cost us a dime. Free press!"
The scathing letter they posted about the FAA sabotaging their business is gone.
Hmmm....wonder what that means?The scathing letter they posted about the FAA sabotaging their business is gone.
where did you hear that?
So did the competition go to FAA and complain in order to negatively impact Navworx's business? Surely someone stirred the pot to bring attention (maybe Navworx themself?).
Been thinkin' the same but I doubt Navworx is the culprit. Which avionics manufacturer would you think of?
not so much the installation...but the box configuration?
The possible reason to do a field check....is to see what's out there and compare that with NavWorx's quality records. Do the production records align with what was sold? Are there other parts that were swapped and not approved?What would be the point of that? If it's a matter of the SIL, they know what that is based on serial number and software ver, and that's not user definable. That info is on the 337, no reason to have to pay me a visit.
If it would speed settling this deal, I would have no problem with giving them a look, but otoh, I'm not in the habit of inviting wolves into the henhouse.
hey....sometime when you're up to it, let's do lunch.

Are you missing an ear?You're on. Gotta get over this respiratory thing first. Kinda feel like I've gone 3 rounds with Tyson in his prime. I'll call ya.
Navworx has a new letter posted on the website, looks like an agreement is in the offing. A little light on details, but welcome news.
