Larry, I think you are right. Wencor may not abandon a market they helped create....and then there is the Brent Wood factor.

It still "looks" like the Wencor's XT is vaporware, but they may have only hit delays with production and are planniong to market at the coming trade events. IMO, it is rare to see a new product produced in a new plant go through the production line without any rectal pain and suffering. With Brent Wood's cheery demeanor, there may not be enough Preparation H to go around.

While the Aircraft interiors show is important and EDIG will have their fingers in that pie, Wencor will be there pushing something.

Ding Ding Round 2 begins after the well proportioned model struts:

The WAEA Show begins May 22. Wencor, Mezzo, and EDIG have separate exhibits. Brent Wood is a speaker at one of the conferences.

Since Wencor can do the same little search I did, my guess (WAG) is they have been unable to get any tyle of injunction against EDIG to exhibit. IMO, that is good news. In my world, the trade shows are the places where legal eagles swoop in and shut down exhibits of mean ole copy cats and innocent bystanders with the product in their booth. (Note: Anyone remember Samsung being shut down in the '80s for showing a dual VCR?)
