One member of the Tsikot PhUV design roundtable actually offered to help MVPMAP board last January (even before this Tsikot Design and Research forum was created) but was unceremoniously ignored. Now they are getting the flak,

so let's hope they have begun to appreciate the fact that designers are indispensable in the overall process.
MVPMAP is composed of parts manufacturers, and IMHO, their fundamental error was
to mistake the part for the whole.
The good news is that one of the twelve companies involved in producing the MVPMAP PhUV is already in touch with us offline and listening intently to what this Design Forum has to say to save their PhUV.
Even as we are intent on developing our own Tsikot PhUV, sure! - for love of country - Tsikoteers CAN and WILL help save MVPMAP's newborn baby. And in case you hadn't noticed, we are actually at it already.
