Great!  Now I just need to wait for the phone call or e-mail, pick an installer, decide what else to install...

Congratulations!

The clouds have parted, the sun is shining, the church bells are ringing, and the villagers are singing and dancing in the streets!!!

WOW! We will all remember where we were at this moment!

Outstanding, now let's get those packages moving!

Now hold your price for all those doubters!
Congrats, I know it has been a long hard road, but we are there.
I say we because with 10 grand on the line I feel a part of the action.

CONGRATULATIONS! :-) :-) :-)

Take a well-deserved rest by... um, going to OSH?  I hope you have a great show.  Sorry I won't make it.

Just saw the IFD540 webinar.

If you haven't seen it, you should.

Quite a product, with teasers about what may be there but not in release 1, incl WiFi and BT.

Hats off to Steve and Avidyne on this one.

Like it so much I am buying more Avidyne technology.

Thank you all for hanging in there.    I'll only be checking these threads periodically since I'm on a family vacation for a few days so don't fret periods of silence on our end.

And yes, the list price will hold.  Those who pre-bought received a substantial discount and we have every intention of honoring that early mover advantage.  Sales have already transitioned to the dealer network and those are all at the list price.

It isn't going to make Avidyne wealthy, but because of your transparency, I today bought a traffic system to go with the MFDs "while we are at it".

I think the TAS605 with the transponder and MFDs is going to give me great SA.  I think the TAS will display both on my 540s and my Aspens.

Enjoy your time off, Steve.

A few weeks ago, I installed a 605(A). Love it, excellent product. Displays just fine on my ASPEN and GNS (soon IFD).

A copy of the STC is available on the dealer site.   I suspect we'll make that available for everybody but for now, at least the folks (Avidyne dealers/installers) should be able to reach it through their normal means.
