Cause for concern with uAvionix?

It could be that the technology is more valuable in another hemisphere than the originators know. It could be that the intellectual property rights will bring in a steady stream of revenue for decades, just like the Univair Corp. that owns rights to the Ercoupe design itself. That is a cash cow for them, but if they ever decide to license the design we could see new designs based on Fred Wieke's genius proliferate.

I hope there is no cause for concern with the buyout of uAvionix.  I have a tailbeacon on my Ercoupe and have ordered a TailbeaconX  along with the AV30.  I'm waiting for them to ship and then be installed.  
 

Larry, you are correct with your "fist thought". Possibly too, they have insight into what's coming down the line and they have evaluated the margin on the current product line and decided they can't loose. Like most buy outs, the price increase follows. All that corporate mission comments sounded like double talk with smoke in the air!!
