Default New Gear System Failsafe.....

Hi Guys,
I have been testing our new gear system failsafe for some time now and I believe we are ready for production. The factory is requiring quite some quantity in order to do a production run. I am just trying to get feedback from you if this is still a highly desired device or is demand for a pneumatic system failsafe fading away?
The new unit offers digital screen programing, user set failsafe pressure activation value and digital pressure display. Can be set to PSI and BAR.
The image below is or prototype, production will have a lightweight plastic case. Let me know how interested you are in production going forward, hate to produce this product in high volume if the demand is not there.
Estimated retail pricing is around 65.00
Thanks,
Todd

I put a failsafe in each of my jets. I've got a couple in hand already but when I'm out, I'll definitely order some more.

Make it a replacement of the AP-EV5UPRO (with a better price....) and I'll take four or five.

The pnuematic gear system is not going away any time soon and lots of us have pnuematic parts, the electric system is nice but pricyyyyy, my future projects are going to have a pnuematc system and will be needing a gearfail safe unit or two or three.

I need two more right now and a couple more later. I would agree also that the electric gear is nice but I think because of the price on the high end stuff that the air systems will be around for quite some time, or at least until manufacturers decide to stop selling the air systems and force the change.

I have never used a gear failsafe and have never really felt like I needed one, but now that I fly almost exclusively from pavement I would buy 2.

Make it so that it will not allow the retracts to go up if the retract switch is in the 'up' position when turning the radio on.

My thoughts exactly, i need one for an upcoming project and would buy a spare at that price too.

Not sure if I would jump in but it's certainly priced right.

I think the answer to both of your questions. Todd, is "yes".

Yes, there is a real demand. Now.
Yes, air systems are going away. Eventually.
