In terms of MATs I have been using an SN10 and an Oudie backup or iGlide (Perry). In terms of US rules 2 min under max start height, I simply use a stop watch and mechanical altimeter (cross referenced with SN10 altitude) with lots of buffer (2:30 to 3 min and usually 200 extra feet) to be safe from a penalty.


You do realize that the Oudie (SYM) has a nice little 2 minute below MSH before starting countdown timer? Makes the process hands off and painless...

I have a problem getting reliable altitude with the Oudie for some reason. It seems to drift up or down compared to mechanical altimeter and the SN10. The SN10 is fairly spot on so I trust it more than the Oudie. I need to do so e research on this problem for sure.

Sean,

Don't you have a V7? It can output directly to an Oudie with Baro data.

The XCSoar program is able to use the Android Baro data in all of the one's I've tried. I used to have a Samsung Note II that was great for XCS and had a Baro sensor. Seemed to match the in-aircraft altimeter pretty well.

Thanks. I had a V7 in my Lak17a, but that has been sold and now I have an ASG29 with an SN10. Considering options......

I assume you have a PFlarm core? One cable hooks up the PF, SN10, and Oudie - you get flarm warnings on your SN10 and Oudie, and air data (vario, winds, altitude) from the SN10 to the Oudie. And the PFlarm GPS drives the SN10 and Oudie.

Works beautifully, totally plug and play. Cable from Cumulus.
