If you live in the USA, the advantage of the 302 is that when it breaks
down (and it will), you can get a very quick turnaround on repairs.

However, when I had an SN-10, it once had to be sent to Germany for
repairs, and Dave Nadler sent me a loaner SN-10 to use in the meantime.
Great service from Dave.

Due to a lack of panel space in my A fuselage Schempp-Hirth, I don't
have the option of using the SN-10, but instead am running a PDA hooked
up to a 302. However, I probably would use the SN-10 if I had the space.

May I suggest you look at the SN10? Particularly if you are interested
in racing, it's a really nice (and easy to use) system.

I've had mine for 6 years now with absolutely no problems.

Add a PDA for backup moving map/landing fields, and a backup minivario
(Tasman, B-400, Ilec, VW 910) and you have the whole deal.

You do need a GPS source, I use a dedicated Garmin 35. The SN10 has a
good but non-.igc logger, OK for OLC classic. It will work well with
any Garmin, or real .igc logger, too.

It also now talks to PDA software, such as MCU and Strepla.

I figure, if it's good enough for Dick Butler and George Moffat, it's
good enough for me!

(and no, I don't work for Ilec...)
