Contact LXNav, as there are obviously a lot of aircraft that require certified instruments, and
they may be pursuing certification so they can also serve that market.

"A lot of aircraft" in this case would be every single glider in the world except US exp. reg gliders, I guess.

Sounds like a strong financial incentive to pursue certification! But, I don't really know what
they think their market is, which could include the US experimental airplanes. They obviously
think there is a decent market that made it worth developing the ADI, as does LX Navigation,
with it's similar "Iris all-in-one":

The main differences between the two that I know about are ..

-The ADI offers an expanded scale at low speeds; the Iris does not (I'm told it's feature they
are working on)
-The ADI Vne can adjust with altitude; the Iris does not have that feature
-The ADI setup is done directly on the instrument; the Iris requires a $200 wifi adapter to
connect to a computer
-The Iris has a built-in backup battery; the ADI does not
