kickingfrog Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well, that certainly is deflating. I am truly sorry but I couldn't help myself, that was an atrocious pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 On a serious note, that is really scary to think that it would not work as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Mustang makes a terrific product, and it's good to see them trying to get word out ASAP. They clearly stand behind what they sell. I understand it's actually a small number of PFDs that are involved, but still ... better to check and be sure.
