That's not to say that this isnt cool stuff we are working on. It's a perfect answer for some people, modest amount of power at a modest price.
As soon as you start adding more power or asking for crazy reliability the cost equation shifts. Once you start getting close to the price of full time FI the game is over.

A couple hundred kits is not "mass production" lmao. I'm a mechanical engineer by day and yes I see everyone's frustration. Rob truly does have a good amount people saying "take my money". He apparently doesn't need the money. I can't see this kit being all that difficult to make. Send me the drawings I'll get it made lol.
