Hi Ross At the current exchange rate you would get quite a lot of change out of $ 250k - enough to buy yourself a decent car!!! Kind regards Bernard

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Low cost avionics Hi Mike I'm just guessing, but I would confidently estimate that the landed cost of an ASH31mi plus trailer, tow out gear etc would be in excess of $250K. I am happy for Bernard to correct me here. So more "more money than sense" doesn't really apply in this case. As a matter of interest the LX9000 is a standard option in the JS1. Hmmm Perhaps you haven't had a close look at the LX9000 if you think it is just a colour moving map!

Tell him to get an LX9000.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Low cost avionics Good morning all! One of my new ASH 31 Mi customers wants a low cost flight computer that features a backlit moving map display and allows the running of XCSoar software. The screen should be a bit larger than a normal PDA and if possible he would like to integrate Flarm and an IGC approved data logger. Any advice on the latest available low cost options would be greatly appreciated.
