I used an old EW MicroRecorder (pre-SD card version) for a number of years. Always a bit of a hassle to have to do the declaration from a PC and having to have a laptop at the airfield etc. The aerial is also separate and so has to be stuck somewhere and then plugged into the unit prior to the flight. But the unit was generally reliable and easy to use.

I have just purchased a Nano4. Was looking at the Nano and Nano3 too - but liked the airspace warnings as well as final glide and climb optimiser which are now part of the Nano4. The NanoConfig App and Bluetooth connectivity mean declarations can be done from an android cellphone saving the hassle of having to connect any of the Nano units to a laptop for the declarations. Flights can also be downloaded using Bluetooth. I hate cables generally. The battery life is also far longer than the EW and its a far smaller unit overall. I personally think the extra Euro100 is worth the expense considering it is a far more modern unit. Both types are approved for all flights.

Hmm, good points. I always used FLARM in our club's gliders to record flights and used my phone as a GPS, maybe the Nano4 would be a good replacement for both. Do you need any other connections to the Nano/Nano4? Vario for example, or can the GPS register the differences in altitude automatically? Thanks!
