Anybody Use This?

FIKI on a Saratoga may not make economical sense. This looks to be an interesting ice-avoidance alternative.

Complete kit is $51k.

I guess not. It is supposed to be only 40% of the cost of getting real FIKI.

Ouch. I think I could add FIKI to the Mooney for that much.

How do you add FIKI to a Saratoga that doesn't already have it?

This appears to have most of the components needed for FIKI. They appear to have tail boots in the picture, though they don't list them. If they have a heated stall warning, they should be able to do the flight testing and get it FIKI certified.
