For the ultimate in compact self contained data-loggers look at the
FlyWithCE Recorder on http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page11.htm
these are NOT FAI/IGC data-loggers but store the same files (less pressure
sensor, all altitudes are GPS altitudes), run for several hours (about 10)
on just 2 AAA Alkaline batteries and come with Logbook software all for
$119.00
You cannot use this log file for badges or records but should be perfect for
those who want to review their flights, OLC and should be accepted in
regional contest the same as the flight logs from PDA's.

The EW unit is a great unit once you figure out how to turn it on and off.
The LEDs are really hard to see in sunlight, which makes this a little
challenging. It is a very good unit to use in a club, as each pilot can
have his own SD card with his/her own task declarations. When you turn
the unit off, the log file is copied into the SD card, which you can take
with you and download to your PC at our leisure.

Another Pros :

1. You can fly during 100 hours without charging your EW logger
2. "After Sale" service is just excellent ! Top quality about
communication with vendor.
3. Very light.

Another cons:

1. There is no standard "ON/OFF" switch. You have to click twice (at a
certain speed) on a very small button and see the red light
disappearing for switching off the unit.
2. I have to admit and confirm that the antenna connector looks (and
is ???) very fragile.

Recommenation:

Buy the EW unit with a SD card reader. So you can leave the EW inside
the cockpit and bring only the SD card at home.
