After a sweet flight, I get home to discover that the flight trace

Do I need to bring a computer with me to the airport to check
each time before I leave the glider that the trace made it?

1) Most common cause of problems writing to USB stick is partially
corrupted stick, usually caused by pulling stick out of PC without
"ejecting", or pulling stick out of a device while stick is being
written to. Winbloze is more tolerant of partial corruption than
any embedded device (loggers etc). Reformat your stick and try again.

2) Any capable FLARM display device, SN10 for example one of dozens,
will give you progress reports writing to the stick. This will give
you confirmation that the file is copied prior leaving the glider.

No, you do not need a PC at the aerodrome...

Hope that helps,
