Can anyone currently using this instrument let us know how you like/ dislike it? Any other recommendations on a electric/audio Vario? Thanks!

I have two flights on my LX-16, excellent audio, internal speaker is . 5W and LOUD! Not a very good display, but I never look at it except for the averager. Cannot get low batt indicator to work. Current hog at 60-80ma.compared to older pressure xducer types (Ball) It requires more room than a average 2.25 instrument and some panel work to make it fit. Did significant research, B-400 was a possibility but could not get tech questions answered. LX had great factory support and answered all my questions. Would I buy it again? YES!

I bought it as a back-up last spring and now use it as my primary vario. The display is nice and the settings are very user-friendly. The flight timers feature is also nice. I would recommend putting it on a separate switch and installing it with an in-line fuse.
