Default Commercial - Details and photos of new Colibri

Hi,

I have just updated my web site with photos and details on the new LX
Navigation Colibri on my web site.
http://www.soarmn.com/cumulus/lx.htm

The new features include:
a.. USB Connector for connecting to PC
This is a very nice feature because most new laptops do not have RS-232
serial ports. Not only can you transfer data over USB, but the USB
connection also powers the Colibri so no 12V power converter is required.
The same RJ connector as found on version 3 Colibri units is used when in
the glider for connecting the Colibri to 12V power and a flight computer or
Pocket PC.
b.. New Membrane Keyboard
The new keyboard has 2 new keys that make it easier to do task
declarations and change pilot/glider data.
c.. Pilot and Glider Data
The Colibri can now store data for up to 100 pilots and 30 gliders. That
makes it ideal for soaring club use.
I have a few of the old (version 3) Colibris in stock that I'm selling for
$810. The new units sell for $949. After the upcoming US Region 7 Soaring
Contest I'll have 2 more version 3 units for sale for $760. They will be
slightly used but still in great shape.

Good Soaring,
