Cheap tiny video cameras - what works best? by Eric Greenwell[_4_]
A previous thread discussed this, but didn't come to any conclusions, so I'm hoping there is enough experience now to make recommendations for a small video camera like the MD 80 or similar. Has anyone found a reliable, easy to use unit? -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change...

HpH 304CZ as first sailplane by fcnorton
I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about buying a HpH 304C/CZ as my first sailplane. Am I nuts? I'm a 1000+ hour power pilot that's been flying off and on for almost 30 years. My last plane was a Mooney 251 in 1992. I have NO time in single seat sailplanes because I'm trying to fast track my add on license...

Flight navigation/moving map software for Android System by Stephen Michalik
The new Samsung Galaxy Tablet uses the Android System. Do any of the current flight software systems run on Android? If so which ones? How well do they interface with the SN10 or 302 ? How about the XCSoar program in beta? In measuring the Galaxy Tablet it is really only about 1.5 inches taller...

Cheap GPS Loggers for FAI Badges - Status? by Papa3
I notice from the brief minutes of the FAI meeting in Lausanne that a proposal to use Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) flight recorders was not accepted. In other words, the widely available, cheap units are again rejected in favor of expensive, proprietary units. I'd like to know...

Battery switching without tears by 2G
On one of my flights last year I had to switch between my avionics battery and engine battery when the avionics battery voltage dropped too low (I had left the master on after the last flight and could only partially charge the avionics battery before launching).

Oxygen by [email protected]
Working out details for a trip to NM. Mountain High seems to have a solid reputation but a fairly steep price compared to Aerox. No joy on W&W or anywhere else. The MH system has some genuinely tantalizing figures of merit, just priced 300 bucks on the high side. Any opinions? Better yet,...
