NW_PILOT,

Thanks, and that may be so, but the Lightspeed trade-up program is US$200
25XL to 303G, so 303G it is.

Cheers,
Kevin

20/3G is the bbest way to go for your money I tried both could not justify
the extra bones for the 30/3G.

Hi,

I have a set of Lightspeed 25XLs that have worked fine (after numerous
problems with a 20XL). I've probably only done 20 hours in them (thanks
to
a 3 year 'financial' lay off from flying). I'm now current again and
flying
some. I am very seriously considering the 303G upgrade.

What are peoples experiences with the 303G - positive and negative? Do
you
think the upgrade is worthwhile, at US$200 I think it is, but hey - no
one
got rich on my financial decisions. I read one PIREP on the 303G and the
big downer was the battery box cover falling off. Apparantly Lightspeed
have a $10 cover to stop this happening (I would have though it would be
a
freebee if it corrects a known fault).

Is the 303G more robust than its prdecessors? Or is it the same beast
with
a different set of electronics? Looking at the picture of both the 25XL
and
303G it's hard to tell them apart (other than the colour).

Thanks,
kevin
