If their success rates are much below CPAP, it wouldn't be very ethical to offer it to people who are succeeding on CPAP. They would probably take me, but I don't live in the area anyway. Still, I'm glad this kind of research is being done, and hope others volunteer.

The questions were about how often you used CPAP, sounded like if you were compliant, they couldn't use you for the study, no mention of efficacy. There were also questions about being able to come to follow ups for 5 yrs. don't think the device is for me, interesting though. If the trials lead to something better in the future I'd be interested.
Any landing you walk away from is a good one; if you don't break your airplane it's excellent.
