Thermals ended early? Soar home like a fighter pilot after a long day of flying.
The LX 9070 is a larger version of the well-known LX9000 with an extremely bright, 7” colour display. It excels together with the V8 variometer. A very large anti-glare screen brings a lot of comfort during the flight and fits into all common gliders. An automatic light sensor adjusts the brightness and optimizes the power consumption.
Of course, all extra’s and conveniences of the modern LX9070 computer are installed:
Unique to this JS3 is also the 80mm super-sensitive and high-end Bohli 68-PVF-1 mechanical variometer. The extreme sensitivity and quick reaction time ensures you will never miss a thermal.
The JS3 is equipped with the safety-enhancing CanopyFlasher Visual Awareness Light System (Haubenblitzer) from AeroFlash.
An easy-to-use JET engine control. One rotary knob with pushbutton controls the throttle. Compact size, with sunlight readable display. Contains various safety and (fire) warning features tuned for maximum user safety.
There is no increase in workload, only a single switch and throttle dial, and there is no noticeable performance loss with the jet extended.
The efficiency of the Turbo Jet increases with altitude. With a saw tooth flying profile at an altitude of 2000m (±6560ft) a range of 240 km (149 miles) can be obtained with the JS1 and 150 km (93 miles) with the JS3.
Maximum Power is achieved in less than 40 seconds from deployment of the system.
AIR Control Display is the newly designed multi function display from AIR Avionics. It controls aircraft radios, is a fully certified altimeter, and controls transponders. Air Control Display works well with many aircraft radios and Mode-S/ADS-B transponders.
AIR COM is the next generation radio module with 8.33kHz channel spacing. It offers amazing functions in a small and lightweight form factor. It is controlled by an AIR Control Display, can be mounted on the control display or installed remotely using cable connections.
The VT-01 transponder is a modern Mode-S/ADS-B transponder for remote installation in a compact form factor. Two output power classes are available. The VT-01 is the flexible transponder and a cost effective solution for any type of aircraft.
AIR Control Display is a fully ETSO certified primary altimeter. If space is an issue, you can use the altimeter function in parallel to COM, XPDR, or both. This not only saves you one entire instrument worth of panel space, but it also offers better readability and reliability compared to most mechanical altimeter systems.
Our JS3 is fitted with the factory original garage-type bugwipers and the CuttingEdge next generation smart bugwiper system with automatic and manual modes.
All these powerful avionics are powered by two strong 20,5Ah AIRNERGY LiNiMnCoO2 batteries with individual avionic busses for redundancy and load-shedding. No chance to run out of juice…
