This is probably why they are dying in droves. It is the because they
are being unused for longer periods rather than a specific date threshold.

Mine worked on the 19th October 2014 and was corrupt 2 weeks later, on
the 2nd November.

A 2nd Volkslogger in our club worked on the 10th October but was corrupt
by the 7th November.

The Cambridge worked on the 11th October but was corrupt by the 22nd
November.

(I don't have exact dates, I am just going by what my friends logged on
OLC).

Three failures in the same windows period, all with loggers that were
being used on a regular basis. I suspect there is more to this than we
realize. But I will watch this space ...

If this blows up like the Blanik issue, is there scope for the IGC to
issue special rules allowing these loggers to be used, at least for a
year or three, until pilots have a chance to get them fixed or replaced?
