Couldn’t agree with you more.... why punish the innocent ... why increase the cost of flying gliders when the numbers are shrinking! unity the person not the recorder.


How many pilots will give up their world record dreams because their old flight
recorder can not be used for world records? Can't they sell their old recorder,
add a few hundred dollars, buy a new logger, and continue pursuing their world
record dreams? Having the right glider, and being in the right place at the right
time, seems far more costly and difficult than obtaining a suitable logger.
