Default Spot X

Must be something wrong on the east coast. My Spot almost never misses any data points. Both 1 and 3 have been rock solid.

I had a gen 3 and it never missed a beat. I donated it to my glider port for the young pilots to use.

So which is more relevant here, the report of not quite rock solid reliability (thanks for the laugh, that's a good one) or the report of UNreliability?

It's a darned good thing that the folks that build our gliders are better engineers than some of the guys that fly 'em.
