And I'm a civilian. Prior military, sure, but "prior" by enough decades that I think I'm a full-fledged civilian. So I think we should consider giving Ned the benefit of the doubt over one word before excoriating him. --JMike As near as I can tell, I could (virtually) walk in to the Micropilot site, plunk down my few tens of thousands of dollars, and walk away with a working machine and some knowledge of how to use it.

So I think we should consider giving Ned the benefit of the doubt over one word before excoriating him.

None of the autopilots located on this website come anywhere near to being "civilian" versions of military/industrial/governmental equipment. They *ARE* military/industrial/governmental autopilot systems....what the hell do you think the market is comprised of???
