I have a functioning B-100 flight computer (version
1.1). My new ship (SZD-59) is equipped with an LX-4000. The LX has integrated GPS and the B-100 takes a separate unit (offhand that seems better since new GPS's kick the crap out of early units) I also have an Ilec SB-8 with the ASR unit, that for 150 Euros can be upgraded to the latest GPS driven ASR unit. Upgrading to the SN10B or LX8000 etc is out of the question, and frankly not necessary for my current set of skills so I am not looking for upgrade recommendations like that (unless someone wants to sell me one REAL cheap!) as much as I am looking for advice on deciding between the three. I'm leaning towards the Borgelt or the Ilec, but want to hear opinions as to which one/ones and why. I'm just beginning X-C, so user friendly is a real consideration as well. I know, I know, 50 pilots=60 opinions, but I still want to know what others think since I do not have enough first hand experience with any of them to determine which would be best. Also, if the B-100 is the better choice, which external (inexpensive) GPS should I get to use with it? Paul Hanson "Do the usual, unusually well"--Len Niemi |
