lol.. well thanks for asking :) We are in what I call the very dirty house keeping phase, so many little details... I am happy with the results, just wish things were moving faster. The forest fires and subsequent evacuations in CA have been a set back as well, but we will persevere. Some things are more important than making an AAD. I have spoken with a couple people about funding the manufacturer approval process / manufacturing / marketing phases, but have not found the right fit yet. The tests we have conducted so far have gone well and the AAD performed as expected. The larger LCD screen for the interface is in the works, and I am taking with a new pyro company for our cutters. This year has not been what I had hoped, but it was not for everyone else either lol

Only if she was a Democrat, silly!

Forgot to add [joke] [/joke] around it

he just did and got the desired result...

Weird Al's take on the debate

I am giving way to the pressures to mirror my military free fall AAD and make a sport version. Testing could begin as soon as this summer. This unit, like it's military counterpart, will be intelligent, and will not fire in the aircraft regardless of descent rate and altitude, or to say it another way, it will not arm until after exit from the aircraft. It will utilize the "black box" data recording platform, but without the WiFi. Data would be stored on a micro SD card. Each AAD will have its own log book, (just like a reserve does). This log book will be a record of test results and services performed on the unit throughout its life, which is to be determined.. A four year check will be required to maintain airworthiness, but on the flip side you won't have to sent it out of the country for service. The unit will display barometric calibration changes so you can be confident that it is recalibrating it self just like you recalibrate your altimeter before you get on the plane. Just a hint, no 15 year battery life claims... This unit will be doing a lot of work which requires power... There will be other features to be announced in time.
