Hi Mike S,
WOW! You are 100% correct about "very difficult to put something into production". Our original target date was about the middle to end of Nov.
We are still trying to reduce the cost and use American Labor & parts. Several shops have already started farbicating some of the necessary parts, still waiting on one final bid to complete the process.
There are still 2 Q-Matic proto-types under last minuite tests. One in CA & another in AZ, however production can start proir to the results.
Have fun,
