Good morning ... anybody have experience with the LXNAV V3 ... how do you like the unit ... any issues with installation, operation, maintenance or support.































Thanks ... kk















I recently bought a LXNav V3 from Wings and Wheels for our Steamboat Club. I love all of its features, including the speed to fly function. I think it is a great unit for the price. However I discovered that my unit had a volume issue. It was quite depressing to not be able to hear the vario inside the cockpit of the Grob102. I tried hooking up the exterior speaker and could not get it too work either. Here is a video of the issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9DPqApIFl0















I think this is just a simple manufacturing defect. I told Wings & Wheels about the volume problem and they told me my only recourse is to send it back to Slovenia. I refuse to do that in the middle of the flying season, not to mention, that on top of the aggravation of getting a unit that doesn't work properly, I would have to pay for the shipping, customs, waiting...etc. I also don't see why I should have to hold the defective product since I paid in full and didn't give them defective money in exchange. So, I'm upset and Wings and Wheels, specially because prior to the sale they assured me that the vario had a one year full warranty. The fact is that Wings and Wheels doesn't guarantee or warranty anything, and they refuse to get involved anymore than to give me a shipping address in Slovenia. So heed my warning, don't buy it from Wings & Wheels, buy it from some one that stands behind what they sell.







robf,







Give me a call and possibly I can get some parts coming in my next order to repair your V3.







Actually the warranty is:







This LXNAV V3 product is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for



two years from the date of purchase. Within this period, LXNAV will, at its sole option, repair



or replace any components that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made



at no charge to the customer for parts and labour, the customer shall be responsible for any



transportation cost. This warranty does not cover failures due to abuse, misuse, accident, or



unauthorised alterations or repairs.

Thanks for the info Rich, I wish W&W would of been so candid. I will certainly call you once other options are exhausted. I am also somewhat worried in that I might void the warranty if I try removing the cover.

Robf,

I would not disassemble as their is probably nothing you could do to repair..

Do you have the current firmware version 1.3?
