Default Colibri Black Box info?

Hi Kirk,

I'd be glad to order one for you. Please contact me if you are OK with the
price being the same as the standard Colibri and the lack of a USB port.
I'm not sure about the USB port item or the price yet.

However, I must mention that any Colibri can be used as a BB. You don't
need to use the keypad or LCD display. It starts logging when you start
flying just like any BB. I wouldn't want to pay the same price for less
features, but I guess it makes sense if you want it to be very simple.

Good Soaring,

Paul,

Thanks, I'd be interested in the status of the Black Box.

For me (at least) it makes more sense to have a no-frills device: fewer
things to go wrong, etc. As a lot of loggers are now installed as
"blind" devices and operated via PDA interfaces, I don't really see
resale as a future problem.

Maybe LX has a few gathering dust on the shelf they want to get rid of!
