I have found an old bug in the Butterfly software that *may* explain
this behavior. Because of other changes, it may happen more frequently
than old Butterfly versions.

I still need some help, ideally someone who can get video of the old
behavior and then try a fix...

Thanks in advance for any help,
Best Regards, Dave

Dave, will a bug wiper work in this case?

Herb, that's brilliant!
Why didn't I think of that???
I will immediately add the bug-wiper option to the new glider.
Should help also with the SN10C.
Thanks!

Thanks to Nicholas for making a video to confirm bug behavior,
and then confirming the latest version is indeed fixed.

Can anyone else help with testing this update prior general release?
Preferably with at least a couple FLARMs with FLARMnet ID.
If so contact me directly.

Thanks,
Best Regards, Dave
