What are the inexpensive devices for logging Silver and Gold badge flights, and how do they compare - costs / ease of use / reliability, etc ? I will be working on my Silver badge this season, using a rented glider, so I need an inexpensive, portable, and easy to use setup. It seems to me that the FR300 is priced much lower than the others, but there must be more to it than just price. Thanks.

Doug,

The FlyWithCE recorder is fine for silver and gold badges, as well as for logging OLC flights. It is easy to use and is very inexpensive, as far as loggers go. The flight logbook software has a few glitches that could be improved, but that won't affect your badge applications. I think it's a good way to go for beginning XC pilots.
