Just a data point for those of us with the Crossbow AHRS.
Mike Smith from Crossbow flew out to my place in TN several weeks ago to personally deliver and help install the revised AHRS, active GPS antenna and new cable from the AHRS to the antenna. Talk about customer service!
I had experienced one instance of erratic behavior after the previously announced hardware fix from late last year, and my unit had been back to Crossbow for the upgrade.
Crossbow believes that they have finally found and fixed the isolated instances where the unit appeared to experience unreliable GPS signals, which ultimately impacted the attitude presentation on the Chelton.
It was tied to GPS processing rates from the GPS unit (not made by Crossbow, but built into the unit as we get them form Crossbow). So it was not related to the previous hardware issues they had over a year ago.
I now have about 6 flights on the revised hardware, including two flights with fairly aggressive maneuvering.
At this point, I can report to all that the fixes appear to be working as advertised.
