Jamie,
We are already taking pre-orders, and have quite a few ordered with deposits paid, info on how to do this on my web site. If you pre-order this secures a build number.
When we return from Jetpower the first kits will be made and shipped shortly after this. The gear has already been made and tested however the original in the picture with Ali was air driven, we have changed this to electric and designed a module to drive them, the electromagnetic brakes and the door sequencing which Rich has designed for it so this will simplify the whole installation, reduce pipes and the need for air tanks, valves etc.
PM me if you want to chat over it as I appreciate any purchase from a small company like ours is not a simple decision
Picture of the PCB Rich designed attached, this tiny module when loaded with components will drive three main gears with current protection, it will sequence doors with the gear which will be user programmable, it has a voltage failsafe so if the supply pack voltage drops past a selected level the gear will deploy. It has a simplified pulsing brake system to help reduce lock up and aid smooth braking, which can be switched on or off depending on user preference. Status LED's, voltage regulator to cope with various battery input supply.
