I have a C2, using it as backup logger.
A backup logger should not need a battery, and the C2 works for more than 10
hours on its own internal battery.
I still have to understand how long it works without using the display, I
guess much more than 12 hours.
This device is a real backup recorder and navigator: if for any reason
during a competition your energy system goes nuts, or the main computer is
gone, you still have a navigation device in your pocket, with some velcro
you can stick it to the cockpit and go ahead.
What is the price difference?

Does anybody have a Colibri II logger?



This looks like a splendid device, capable of serving as a backup audio
vario and a backup nav system as well as an approved logger. However, from
reading the manual online it looks as though the only way of downloading
an IGC file is via a micro SD card. Can anyone tell me if IGC files can be
downloaded either to a PDA using something like ConnectMe or to a PC using
a USB cable?



Thanks for any helpful info.

I was considering one as a backup logger (LX 9000 in the panel). As
mentioned, I like all the additional features compared to other loggers, but
I find handling micro SD cards too fiddly. If that is the only way of
downloading flights, I think I will do without the other clever backup
features and get a (much cheaper) EW Microrecorder as my backup logger.
