I just spoke to company president David Boldenow, and he said there were

about
100 units installed in the fleet. Any of those 100 on this newsgroup?


Are you sure it will fit?

They told me there is an STC for the P210N, then they told me even though
there is an STC I needed to be sure it will fit since it is longer than the
original vacuum pump. My mechanic does not think it will fit. It is
unclear to me how they could get an STC or claim to have an STC and then not
even know if it really fits that model... even if it did fit in my plane, I
would be leary now of the pump until I saw its history in the field,
especially since the product was already delayed once due to a need to
re-engineer it somehow... It all sounds to me as if the bugs might not all
be fully worked out yet, even if the idea sounds great in theory.
