Doh! As Homer would exclaim. Measure twice cut once........sorry I need a 57mm. The 80mm is just too big for my limited panel.

Many thanks for the post

I'm still looking.......

Would you take $300

Have you considered an L-nav? It has a good climb-cruise audio and a single function distance computer. I'll sell you one for $175 and I pay the shipping!

Greetings JJ.

I am really after a Borgelt B400. I used an Lnav many moons ago (1990) and although a good unit at the time a little antiquated.

Thanks for the offer. That's a great price but the snow will be here soon!

I'll echo JJ's comments about the LNAV. I bought mine in 1992 and it's worked great ever since, for most of that time coupled with an "antique" Compaq 1550 running Glide Navigator II. I'm currently exploring a flight computer upgrade using open source software (e.g, TopHat) and a cheap tablet. But based on input from several pilots whose opinions I trust, including several national champions, I've been reassured that any improvement in the new varios vis-a-vis the LNAV is modest, at best, and doesn't justify my investing the required price. I'll revisit if it looks like I need more of a data stream than can be provided by my current hardware (or if my fellow pilots are lying to me in order to hobble my performance!) but in the meantime, I'll continue to rely on the LNAV.
