able to read in bright sunlight!


I love the idea of the bright color display, but what I'm really
wondering is ... is it available in the USA with FLARM capability?

Yes FLARM is a normal option on all current LX7000-7007.....but, who in the
USA even uses FLARM???? doesn't seem to be a rush to get this technology
here
and LX7007 can also be upgrades to LX8000 with color and since the LX7000 is
already IGC approved, adding color display should have no relevence to IGC
approvals for the new version...

One reason is FLARM won't sell units to the USA, so I'm wondering if
FLARM actually allows LX to sell that capability to US pilots. If so, I
think there would be some market for it, like the Minden pilots flying
at 250 knot closing speeds along the White Mountains, or maybe ridge
runners on the Allegheny ridges, and pilots in contests.
