    Wow, my experience has been the opposite. I’ve been running one in my Avid for over 5 years now and I would never go back to the heavy lead acid. In fact I am adding a second one to backup the EFI IM INSTALLING on my 912. Around seven lbs compared to 32 lbs for a dual lead setup.Customer service, haven’t needed any so, more than that I can’t say.

    I wonder why anyone would put an airspeed indicator on a plane in "mph". It just seems silly. I think a big part of it is that the numbers are higher and it makes the plane sound faster.

    3 weeks ago I had the honor to get on a Vans rv8 with a pilot friend of mine. First time in my life I would ever fly in a small airplane. He did a lot of aerobatics and I ended up so sick and dizzy but when we touched down and while he was trying to help me recover, I told him that was the best day of my life. I own a restaurant bar in AZ and the day after my experience with that particular airplane I started my private pilot lessons. That ride has changed my life and possibly my career. Nothing compares to the feeling of feeling free. Literally nothing.

      Sorry Paul you don't like the video. This was the first time I tried them on and used them. This was a few months before their release to the public. All I can say it's on honest review of the first time I used them on and tested them in the cockpit. As the title says - it's a "First flight Review" not a full product review.

      In this case no modification to the wing was needed. We test the airplanes beforehand to higher than Vans Published VNE speeds to meet a Reno Racing requirement. Since this is in the experimental category we are allowed to test, observe and learn.
