Matthew:

I'm not sure who has Flyers for rent in the LA area, but you can go to the Tiffen facility in Burbank and test-fly one there, I believe. The number is 818 843 4600, ask for Frank Rush.

A bit surprised, honestly. I had expected it to be priced for the market since it doesn't incorporate a monitor and is so simple (elegantly simple!).
