I was leaning towards the ClearNav/LX approach of buttons rather than the trackball, although I believe both are quite workable. I currently use an Oudie and have had problems in rough air with the touchscreen.



The LX 9000 does look most interesting, but would be a lot more attractive if the Euro was at 0.8 to the US dollar instead of 1.35! The idea of putting the computer on a RAM mount within easy reach wasn't an idea I had originally considered, but might actually be viable.



I wonder how many here have taken that approach?

Mike,
I just installed an LX9000 on a RAM mount over the winter in my LAK and it seems to be working out just fine. You can see the photos on the Cumulus Soaring website.

It is very easy to reach and control and I am very confident that it will work out great during the coming soaring season at Moriarty. Once I have a few flights under my belt with this set-up, I'll provide an update on RAS.

Thx - Renny
