Hi, I want to add a few of my comments around this 'debate' if thats OK (freedom of speech and all that) being the manufacturer of the CAT.
I designed the CAT some 6 years ago, simply because the plastic bottle type I was being given by clients to instal in their jet builds was a PITA to instal and not very well designed, I had also been supplied one of the JMP solid Aluminium units for an MB339 build but struggled to understand how you could detect any air inside being a solid tank. I spent a long time researching and designing the CAT - the key features being a solid tank to avoid collapsing walls, translucent so you can see any air in the tank, high flow fittings and internal filter/pickup to reduce cavitation and draw loads on the pump, reduced fill bore fitting to reduce pressure on tanks during filling, really easy to mount, range of sizes to suit different turbines as one size does not fit all and lightweight.
To be honest there has been some '*****ing' in the background but putting this aside and looking at the market there is room for us all - I don't do politics.
I love design and functionality, and often this gives rise to more issues (note Apple v Samsung) but ultimately the proof is in the pudding and whilst we have choice all you guys out there will have your preferences. I thank all those who use the CAT and appreciate your custom, a new V2 version of the CAT-M and CAT-L are soon to be available, Dreamworks has the CAT-M V2 already and the CAT-L V2 will be with them in the next week. It's the same price too so better value.
