Hi Andy,

I think it is fine - because Richard Kellerman is one of the owners of NK
and he is still the owner (or one of the owners) of ClearNav Instruments.
He's a soaring pilot and stands behind the ClearNav products. Also, Gary
Kammerer (from Cambridge and NK) is still supporting the products - which is
great news. The fact that they are about to release the best soaring
variometer instrument in the world (in my opinion) should give some
indication that they are on track to do great things.

Well the news of ClearNav breaking away from NK was certainly
interesting. One of the marketing points for ClearNav was that it was
being supported by a well established company and that people need not
fear a repeat of the Cambridge ownership problems.

Hope it works out this time.
