Thanks John and Fred for your replies. After reading about having to
"exercise" the unit I am a little concerned as it has been in storage for
at least two years. Now, it seems that it might have been damaged. I am
very upset with Kelly Manufacturing as I also did not receive any
documentation with the unit and inquired to Aircraft Spruce from whom I
purchased the unit. They were to check into it and never did get back to
my on it. I have contacted Kelly via e-mail and will pass along any info
I receive. As John points out I will not hold my breath. It is rather
surprising that a company that produces such delicate pieces of equipment
do not provide any documentation, especially given the cost of the unit.
It dumbfounds me to say the least.
Regards,
Erich
