"Thank you for your interest in UFlyMike. We hope to have "Harmony" ready for production by July. We were hoping for an earlier availability but we want to make sure it all works perfectly before we start production. Last thing we need is to have a recall or a flood of warranty repairs.
For pilots requiring the TSO Certified version, we hope to have the certification completed in 3 - 4 months (only the QC25 version will be TSO Certified)."
Awesome thanks for the update. I emailed them back a bit ago with some quality concerns for the new model. The pictures they posted didn't look as good as I was hoping, here was their reply:
Thank you for your email and expressing your concern.
1. The pictures you see are mockups, they are not finished products. All the parts will be made from high quality plastics which will be highly durable and long lasting.
2. The microphone attachment uses an MCX connector which is highly durable with a strong connection. The o-ring around the microphone swivel provides a friction fit which also holds the microphone in place. Both of these have been wear tested and you should have no issue with the microphone disconnecting accidentally.
3. The connection between the headphone cable and application cable uses a LEMO connector. These are extremely high quality medical grade connectors with a locking mechanism, it won’t come apart unless you take it apart.
The new product has several components because our customers always asked if they could do more with the system. Several components make the system easier to repair and replace broken parts as well as upgradability and expandability without having to re-buy parts you already have.
I understand the quality expectations created by our last product, I am doing my best to maintain those with the new product. That is why the new version has not been released yet, I want to make sure it works as good as I want it to. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Kind Regards,
