I find the flexibilty of the LX 9000 impressive but definitely not
useless. Some spare time spent at home playing with it on the PC
simulator program (and personalising it with the LX Styler if, like me,
you wish) then load the profile on the 9000 via SD card you have a
hugely capable flight computer that you are already familiar with and
that requires minimal workload in flight. If you are happy with the
factory default profile then the parameters you need to set are simply
things like units, glider polar, pilot data etc.
