Hi,
* I have a question regarding the ew logger: the place it has it
listed up for sale differentiates between the engine version and a
pure glider version. Mine will be used mostly in the glider, but I'd
like have the ability to use it in a motorized glider as well, for
vacations, training etc. C302A has the same option when purchased.
Does anyone have experience with any unwanted motorized recording when
being in a pure glider and vice-versa?

Thanks,

I don't see why you are worried. I would be surprised if there is an
issue with the ENL recording, sometimes you might see noise spikes if
you have the recorder by an open canopy vent or similar. However if
you are flying a pure glider I don't see how it becomes a real
problem. If it's a badge or national flight the badge processing folks
should grock it's a pure glider. Have the OO write them a nice note if
you are worried about this. I don't know what OLC does, but this
should be a rare problem if at all and OLC support seems very
responsive to fixing issues, so submit the flight and if there is a
problem let them know. I'd hope that the logic that is already built
into OLC that knows to require ENL recording for a motorglider already
knows to ignore ENL excursions for pure gliders (but I'm not sure).

I was not aware the Cambridge 302A (the 302 variant with no vario) has
an option for ENL, I believe all Cambridge 300 series computers/
loggers have ENL recording. The Cambridge 302-MG variant is intended
for motorgliders and has an external speaker for the vario/STF audio.
This allows you to hear the vario over the engine but is unrelated to
ENL per se (although it may reduce pickup of the audio vario, but the
basic 302 seems pretty good at that already). All versions of the
Cambridge 302 have ENL (engine noise level) recording AFAIK.
