We have one in a club glider, installed recently. So far, so good.
The 300 mA spec appears to be accurate -- one of our club members
checked this. Our ship has 12 AH battery now, so no particular
concern for us. I have not flown with it, but pireps are good. I can
vouch for the transmission quality -- I receive it nice & clear.
