Hi Nick,

I don't see it is a problem that the Nano saves flight logs only on the
microSD card. MicroSD cards are just as reliable as internal Flash memory.

I have sold quite a few Nanos and so far the feedback has been very
positive. It has proven very reliable.

I fly with a Nano and I trust it.

Hi,

The LXNAV Nano has been the popular unit lately. Customers seem to like
that it is very small, has a built-in battery and antenna, and is very
simple to use. I has also proven to be very reliable.

I also sell the EW microRecorder, but I'd use the Nano myself - unless
you have soaring friends using the EW - so you can help each other if
necessary. But the EW is also very easy to use.

Best Regards,


One question about the Nano which I wasn't happy about - I may be wrong
but it seems it does not have any internal memory like other loggers. The
only place the trace gets stored is on the SD card. Other loggers with SD
cards keep the trace in internal memory and just use the SD card for
transfers.

The Nano manual specifically says with a big red warning triangle next to
it that although it has a removable SD card that removing the card is not
recommened and also recommends always copying flights off the Nano in case
of SD card failure.

I believe the new Colibri II does have internal memory and just uses the
SD card for transfering traces. May be a better bet once it is fully IGC
approved?
