LX1000 Wiring Diagram by
Luke Roberts
Does anyone have a manual, or wiring diagram for the
Avionic Dittel LX1000 vario. I have one with various
wires hanging off it, but some have been cut off.
A simple numbered chart for the 15 pin (DB15) plug
would be fine.
Thanks, Luke

FLARM Statistics by
John Galloway
Does anyone know of a source of any statistics that
might indicate the effectiveness or otherwise of FLARM
in reducing the rate collisions between FLARM fitted
gliders in those European countries in which it is
in widespread use?
Thanks in advance.

XC Soar map help needed by
Ken Latam
Running XC Soar on an Ipaq 2215. The program loaded and runs fine as well
as the Flashcard GPS unit. My problem is how do you load the map data into
the program? I have gone to the Naviter web site and downloaded the map
covering this area,but can't get XC Soar to find it.

Movses
I'm somewhat confused with the functionality of the flarm core in regards to producing flight traces.
I was never able to obtain a trace from my Flarm Core Pure.
I put the usb drive in, turn it on, wait for the light to settle to green, turn it off, pull the drive - nothing.
Updating settings from...

Any thoughts on flight characteristics of the Open Cirrus? There used
to be a website covering this glider, but it doesn't appear to be

iPhone Logger? by
vontresc
From time to time I check the iPhone app store for soaring apps. I
just came across GlidePath. The developer claims it's OLC compliant. I
havent purchased it yet, but it looks like a good backup for OLC
flying.

Vario recommendations, please. by
Mike Lindsay
My gliding partner and I have a LX1000 in our DG202.
This instrument needs some attention, and we are wondering if its time
to replace it rather than spending money on something outdated.
We have a separate GPS/logger/nav display system (Garmin 89, EW B,
Compaq 1550), so we aren't looking for all...

I purchased a glider that came with a PZL Vario (WRs-5D). All of
