I think the OP, if he has the resources and capability, is on to something.
I've just installed "full glass" in my Falco and I had an absolute nightmare trying to find not just the right equipment at an affordable price, but the right supplier.
I ended buying direct from AFS in the US, not just because I thought their product was excellent, but because their comms and public resources gave me confidence.
There are still some shortcomings as a result of them being focused on the US market though and it would be great to have a European company producing something of similar quality and with similar approach. Too late for me now but I'm sure there are plenty of LAA owners who are either building or thinking of upgrading who are having similar issues.
Whether the market is big enough to warrant the trouble is another matter.
