Dont know that we have a specific "Gear" or "tech" talk area, and im only posting this here Admin or Crocker can choose to add it to other locations, but i felt if anything it fit best in the western forum.

Ive always liked the idea of the Jetforce, but also could never get past, what i consider, its limitations. Its kind of an age old debate. Mechanical (air cylinder) vs. electrical (fan, etc.). Sure there can be mechanical failures too, but at a rate id suspect is much lower than electrical. This recall proves to me that i'll stick with mechanical in the near term. Software bugs that can cause stuff to not work correctly in life or death situations is not something im going to mess with.
I applaud the recall, and the design. Im just personally not ready to put my life into a battery, a fan, and some software.
