LX 9000 or CNII?

Tom,

There is no right answer, it depends what YOU like the best. Personally, I like the LX9000. I like the user interface and find it easy to understand.. I tried a ClearNav a couple of times and couldn't figure it out. Did not seem intuitive to me like the LX menu structure. Windows vs MacIntosh

My recommendation is, since you have flown with the ClearNav to now spend some time flying with a 9000 and get a feel for the LX, then decide. If you can't find a glider to fly with the 9000, then download the simulator from the LX Nav site and try it out.

Thanks Dave I have downloaded both the LXSim and the CN sim and run them side by side with flights I did in January in NZ. BTW the LX9000 captured the start the CN still missed it. In fairness the CN sim is about a year behind in development.

The CN pc sim is ancient history and has always had a few issues of its own.. I use it to troubleshoot database problems and to try to understand some of the crazy things out Aussie friends do with area tasks, that's about it.. Using it to evaluate a possible CNII purchase isn't really a very good idea.

However, missing starts is a setup problem and I can sort you out on that. (shoot me an email or lets sort it out on the CN forum)

CN was designed from the start to be a device that had a very low attention and fiddle factor in flight. CNII continues and improves upon that tradition.
