Everything is now in kts (this was the 2nd flight). The S8 is slaved to the 9070. I could control the radio from the 9070, but that requires a $240 bridge (LXNAV-Bridge-Trig).

I don't have ADS-B In.

Really???Â* How much have you got invested in that well set up ASH-31?Â*
What's $240 as a percentage of that, 0.1%?

How could anyone claim that glider pilots are notoriously cheap? :-D

$240 IS $240, not zero. I wasn't even aware of the option when I ordered the 31, as was the case with the Wi-Fi option. I have the entire winter to make up my mind. All that it does is allow you to set and select frequencies from the 9070 instead of the TY91, not a very compelling capability at the end of the day.
