Hi,

Details on the new LX8000 are now available on the LX web site here:
http://www.lxnavigation.si/avionics/products/lx8000.cfm

It looks like a very interesting product. I will have a demo in my booth at
the SSA Convention. I have started a waiting list, so let me know if you
want to get on the list.

It is not scheduled to be available for sale until February.

Good Soaring,

Looks interesting.

Is the interface similar to SeeYou mobile? I looks like it and I
understand there is some level of collaboration between LX and
Naviter.

They talk about hardware upgrades - have they set pricing for that?

Hi,

The LX8000 does not have a touch-screen, so my best guess is that the user
interface will be very, very similar to the LX7007 Pro IGC interface - not
like SeeYou Mobile.

Hardware upgrades will be available for LX7000 and LX7007, but pricing has
not been determined yet. The small vario unit will not need to be replaced.

One very cool feature of the unit is that it has an SD card slot on the
front of the unit - to make it easy to transfer flight logs, etc.

I will be adding it to my web site very soon and giving an overview of it in
my upcoming newsletter. You can sign-up for the newsletter here:

At this time, the estimated market price is: 3820 Euro or about $5595 US. I
believe that price includes FLARM functionality, but I'm not certain.

It will be very interesting to see how it looks in sunlight. It will also
be interesting to see whether the LX7007 Pro IGC units will continue to
sell. The grey-scale screen on the LX7007 is awesome in sunlight. I have
one in stock for $4450.

At least one SeeYou programmer does work for LX, sure looks like
familiar output displays to this SeeYou user!!

Nice!
