New products for US Contest Pilots from Random Logic...

Thanks to the proposed changes to section 6.7 (Flight Documentation
Equipment) of the 2008 SSA Regional and National contest rules, Random
Logic will soon be releasing several exciting products for those pilots
wishing to optimize their scores!

For pilots in Category 3 (sports class regionals):

Find yourself falling 5 or 10% behind the scores of the top pilots in
your class? *Dial-a-Speed* (TM) is a tiny utility which runs on any
Windows Mobile or Pocket PC. Installed alongside WinPilot, SeeYou
Mobile, or other popular soaring navigation software, *Dial-a-Speed*
optimizes your task times by transparently intercepting and cleverly
adjusting each GPS fix before it reaches your nav software. Configured
by simply selecting the finish point and your desired level of
optimization, *Dial-a-Speed* allows you to fly your tasks faster by
reducing the distance you need to fly to obtain the desired task
distance. At the end of the day, you simply hand in the IGC file from
your navigation software, to be scored using your optimized distance and
actual task time!

For pilots in Category 2 (regionals, nationals, no US Team points):

The *Disreputable Flight Recorder* (TM) is a simple electronic flight
recorder that meets the needs of the budding regional and national
contest pilot. Incorporating *Dial-a-Speed* technology, the
*Disreputable Flight Recorder* allows you to increase your task speeds
without flying any faster!

For pilots in Category 1 (US Team points):

Intended for the more technologically advanced pilot, the *Secure Flight
Recorder Exchange* (TM) allows US contest pilots to trade their
IGC-approved "all flights" recorder in for an approved flight recorder
that has had its IGC approval level reduced. Each *Secure Flight
Recorder Exchange* unit is accompanied by the appropriate
publicly-available documentation detailing the reasons for the downgrade
of approval. Some assembly required.

DISCLAIMERS: Random Logic does not condone use of these products for
cheating at SSA sanctioned contests. Excessively high *Dial-a-Speed*
settings may cause your competitors to notice that you are turning short
of turn points in assigned speed tasks.
