Cool

All I can tell you is that the AV8OR is hugely popular already...with seemingly very few people actually having tried one out.

I have one on order from the USA. First it was going to be shipped on 19 Sep, then 26 Sep, now today I've been told 7 Oct (but they can't guarantee that this date won't slip further). Apparently Honeywell are battling to keep up with demand.

Spoke to Flightstore today, and they have sold out their entire first batch (which they can't deliver for a few more weeks), and are now taking orders for the next batch which they only expect to be able to deliver in 4-6 weeks.

You'd think that when a company as big as Honeywell creates a product designed by pilots, for pilots, which has all these desirable features and a good price tag, that they'd make sure they had made enough for the intial demand. Clearly the market reaction following on from its release at Oshkosh has taken them by surprise!

Still - can't wait to get my mitts on mine.
