You can fly OLC still :-)!

It will soon be illegal to run any of the free glide computer software (rule coming) such as XC Soar or LK8000.

I expect that they will begin outlawing "non approved hardware" or something to that effect.

I would be careful folks buying anything right now as the rules committee has its big red marker out...and they are all excited!

Sorry...I hate to be the bearer of bad news. *I was going to order one of these...but now I think I am going to hold off.

Sean, give it a rest, already! Now you are being just stupid. *There

I plan on running one with SeeYouMobile,and it will be perfectly legal
at a contest.

Go ahead and order one, get SYM, and enjoy it!

I am surprised how little discussion there was about this unit is
considering how good the sun readable display of this unit is and how
low the price is. I guess everyone is busy talking about the software
