I sure hope they launch a 80mm version! Contact them, tell how much you'd like that! The only difference would be a bigger case and display, which they already have for the S100, S80, and V80. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |

LXNAV introduces New ADI Air Data Indicator
Hi,
I've been asked a lot whether the new LXNAV Airdata Indicator has a built-in backup battery. It doesn't. I'm glad because I'm not a fan of built-in backup batteries. They sit in unused for many months and then charge for the glider's main battery - reducing the main battery's ability to power everything else. I have 2 recommended solutions for making sure the LXNAV Airdata Indicator is available when you need it. - Use redundant main batteries that you can easily switch between. I use a Battery1/OFF/Battery2 switch in our glider. - Use a AA battery pack and change the batteries once a year. The Goddard-Cable-S3-Backup-Sw-1 wiring harness includes a battery pack for 8 AA batteries. It has an ON/OFF/Backup panel-mountable switch for manually switching from main battery power to the AA backup batteries. It is compatible with the LXNAV S3 variometer, LXNAV ADI (Airdata Indicator), and LXNAV G-Meter. I just finished testing it with the ADI and it ran with the backlight at full brightness for 11+ hours.

There is certainly nothing inherently wrong with backup batteries; I ordered that option for my Garmin G5 PFD. The backup is a lithium battery that holds its charge well. Most importantly, I have vital flight data in the event of a main power failure. Tom |
