Upgrade with FANET+
If Skytraxx are able to source the required parts it's possible to upgrade the 3.0 with FANET+ technology, effectively transforming it into a 3.0 FANET+. This is a hardware upgrade, requiring you to contact Skytraxx and send your device to them.
NB: Skytraxx are currently (04/2021) unable to source the required parts to upgrade the 3.0 to 3.0 FANET+. They hope to be able to do so in future.
Reviews of the Skytraxx 3.0
The Skytraxx 3.0 is an all-in-one flight computer. It offers all the bells and whistles for flying competition tasks and will record your flights and replay them to you. It can’t thermal for you, but it can show you where to go, what's around you and where you’re going with accuracy, clarity and style.
The device has an ultra-bright full colour screen (better than smartphones) which is not touch sensitive. This offers excellent sunlight readability and can’t be accidentally triggered by a chest-strap or body part.
You can customise the four default screens, but they’re very well thought out, so you can just go out and fly. For all its elegance and complexity, the Skytraxx 3.0 is a “turn it on and fly” instrument.
The high quality vario audio removes any need to look at the instrument in crowded or pressured situations.
This is a fully featured, compact instrument. It’s been great to fly with and promises a lot.
