Lightspeed 303G Trade Up

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
