The 302 will output outside air temperature.
In a fashion. It outputs it as some raw number in LOG 12 mode, but
unless you know all the calibration data, this mode does not do much
good.
Well, darn it, I was hoping for some easy way to display it on my PDA. I
can look at it on the 302 itself, but it's 10 button presses and 5 knob
clicks to get to it. A real nuisance.
The other thing the 302 fails to output in normal operating mode is
indicated airspeed (it provides only true airspeed), which one would
definitely want for flight test evaluation purposes...

true, but if we have TAS, outside air temp, and altitude, its a pretty
easy conversion, right?

Unfortunately, the 302 does not output outside air temperature in normal
operating (LOG 0) mode. Operating in LOG 12 mode will require a fairly
sizable post-processing effort to perform the necessary conversions from
raw sensor data to usable results. If you want to go this route,
contact me via email, I have some code that will help...
