Thanks for all the great responses folks. Mr/MS Moderator, hopefully this next statement is not a violation of policy. If so just delete it.

The reason for the question I placed was that I work for a company that has developed an safe, inexpensive, aircraft specific, solution for preventing delays due to de-icing on frost and light snow days that complies with the FAA regs 100%. The reason for the initial posting was that I wanted to see how much money we could be saving our clients.

If anyone is interested in finding out more PM me. I'll leave it at that on here so as to hopefully not violate the forum rules.

Warm regards...

Hangar space....$350 the night before departure. Did it 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Plus, you get to preflight in a heated hangar with a GPU.

Fluid was as much as $25.00 a gallon (EGE) and as little as $19.00 a gallon (HPN).

My friend and I have a 100% perfect product that keeps all ice and frost from ever being able to form on the wings or horiz stab, regardless of how long it stays outside and how bad the weather. G5 would cost approximately $10,000 to purchase and a Lear 55 would cost approximately $3,000. 50% of those costs if you just want to protect the wings and then deice the tail only if needed.

But start-up costs will require about $250,000 for the manufacturing set-up fee's and some special "stuff". I have an investor considering it.

It will take about 20 minutes to set up on a G5 and about 10 minutes on a Lear 55...after the crew has parked the plane. Same time to prepare it for flight.

No STC required or FAA involvement of any kind.

We should have a prototype ready for next winter for a Lear 55 and Challenger 600. It can also keep anything from forming on the aircraft from the cabon door forward all the way to the nose.

Never having to deice wings or tails again should have some interest with aircraft owners.

You are so intelligent that you have become completely retarded.

2dumb,

You know this guy. Seemed like an odd response to what I thought was a legitimate post. Can you enlighten me? Seriously...i didn't understand.

Hey Fly91 - found a use for that extra MonaVie? But won't the acai berry stain the aircraft? Jut playin with ya. You were a good sport before.

 

[FlyingPieceOfSt]

I have noticed that 99% of the folks who have that Mona-Vie decal on the back of their car window are minorites. Strange.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

The leftover grape juice all over my G550?

I think not.

No Monavie for my Grumman!

We'll see what happens. It works perfectly. We just need to make a full size product, test it on a jet in freezing weather and snow. If that works...its gonna be a HUGE winner. Then the investors will be begging us to give us money for it.

Its a complex logistics thing too, as nothing at all will be carried on the aircraft for this product.

It just sucks that the economy is like this, nobody wants to invest money for prototypes and R&D. So me and my friend have to pay for our prototype ourselves which is gonna cost about $10,000.

Even if we just sell them for wings and not the tails, imagine the money saved in a couple years never having to deice the wings again. Just deice the tail and other areas if needed. It'll pay for itself after just one or two deicing's.

Its just an idea we're trying out. Hope it works.

As for the Mona-Vie....I never really made alot of money with it because this economy took a nose dive 12 months ago when I was hoping to start making real money with it. My friend is still making between $2,000-$3,000 / week though. That and his Global job, he's banking big bucks. He's made over $300,000 with Mona-Vie in 2+ years. Not bad. But he was making $4,000-$5,000 / week with it a year ago. The economy has hurt him too, lots of people quiting Mona-Vie. Just the drinkers are quiting because $130 a month for one person is kind of alot of cash.

Its just an idea. If this world was made up of no brain fools like you we'd never have any cool products or inventions.

Sorry... I was trying to be funny. Let me see if I can follow my own train of thought. Very intelligent, meaning it sounds like a very simple and yet potentially brilliant idea, that could be worth tons of money. Retarded, talking about said idea on the internet before its fruition. I also thought it would be funny to use that word because of the attention that it received in politics last week. Yeah well, that is what I get for being a no brain fool.

Alright, kiss my ass. Is that clear?

Hey now, play nice.

You guys should get together over a glass of grape juice/de icing fluid and work this out.
