Default Is it best to use an Oudie with a Calibri II or a LX Nano....?

Hi,

Not quite true. Your number below of 15 hours for the Nano is out of date.
A few months ago LXNAV updated the LXNAV Nano firmware so that the battery
life was extended significantly. Their web site now shows that it lasts
about 28 hours. That is more than twice as long as the Colibri II's
battery.

not exactly true.......
Both are excellent data loggers but the nano alone is rated at
(Nano)Integrated LiIon battery gives you up to 15 hours of independent
power supply
and
(Colibri II) Internal battery ensures up to 10 hours of autonomy, after
using of screen saver function
and few would use even just the Oudie alone without connecting it to
external power so connecting also the Colibri II or Nano to external power
wouldn't be any advantage to one over the other
Nano is excellent....and tiny, but larger than the Colibri II and does not
have a display, the nav or vario functions and the ability to display
FLARM on the screen when connected to a FLARM device.....I have both
Colibri II and Nano (+others) and all are well accepted.

Hi Michael,

I don't sell the Colibri II, but I do sell (and have flown with myself) a
very nice package with Oudie, Nano and Socket Mobile Power Pack. It
includes a Goddard Y-cable for connecting the Nano and Oudie to the
Socket Mobile Power Pack and also includes 2-way data connections. I
highly recommend that package.

One major advantage to the LXNAV Nano is that if you use it alone, its
internal battery lasts 18 to 24 hours. The Colibri II's battery doesn't
last even half that long. Otherwise, the Colibri II looks interesting.

Good afternoon,

I am a budding cross country pilot that is trying to work on the best
flight logger to pair up to my Oudie for recording my flights for the
BGA ladder and also for competitions and badge claim flights.

The system that I use needs to be mobile as I do not want it hard-
wired into the glider.

I am going to use a USB power pack, something like socket mobile
that lasts for 10 hours plus.

Is the Calibri II able to connect to the Oudie? Or would it be better
to go for a Nano?

Any suggestions and advice would be very welcome.


Kind regards
Michael Marshall
