Subject: Re: Stormscope and carbon fiber airplanes

I have been flying for 35 years and have used both radar and  
strikefinders. Now I am using WX Weather in a Garmin 396.

My question is why would anyone even consider using anything other  
then WX Weather? The only thing that I can figure is: they have not  
seen and/or used the WX Weather. It is 500 times superior to the  
other equipment. I wouldn't waste my time on installing anything  
else. For backup, if I felt it necessary, I would install a second WX  
Weather system.

In the last few months, I have picked my way (accurately) through 2  
squall lines that have run 700 to 800 miles from the SW to the NE  
along the Smoky mountains while traveling from Detroit to SE North  
Carolina. To be able to see a hole in the line and get to it from  
hundreds of miles away, is not possible with either radar or  
strikefinders.
