Default What's Wrong With OLC?

Looking at your April 25 flight on SeeYou, the GPS altitude graph shows
tons of dropouts (down to 0 altitude).

This is absolutely not corruption on a USB stick, the file would show as
invalid with the CRC check if it were. It's the logger showing bad
altitude numbers, and at least one out of order time stamp.

If these problems correspond to the jamming, then not much you can do.
But I wouldn't rule out interference from inside the cockpit, maybe even
the two CN antennas mounted next to each other and interfering with each
other. Stranger things have happened.

I have separate sticks for each device.Â* It's hard to imagine that both

As soon as I get a chance to fly again, I'll try three different
sticks.Â* Winds are currently around 20G30 kts.Â* I don't mind landing in
that, but I see no need to take off until things settle down. Ah...

First field job.....user PC was Windows NT.....no Frikkin USB

Today, big USB sticks are like cheap butane lighters......the stick is
cheap (make sure to format in correct OS/software) so when not sure,
recycle and buy new......
