Aeromot out of Manufacturing - Jan 2009

Well, I think *demise* may be overstating it. I just don't see 
they're pushing the product. As for parting out ximangos, that hardly 
seems necessary, since parts still appear available.

*my* experience...

thanks for the tip on the Bendix. a touch screen would be cool, but 
I'm still trying to stay simple...

It does seem that all?the Ximango folks should be more up front and forthcoming with their customers about future plans, doesn't it?

Jerry Owens and I are using the very small Garmin GPS III "Pilot" which has and does everything we need.?They are no longer?manufactured, but I found mine at Aircraft Spruce.

There is a Ximango in Panama City FL which I understand has been sitting out unflown for several years and may be available.
