Please write book

I wish someone would write a soaring book on flight computers. How to choose one, program, trouble shoot them, use them. Combine book with YouTube explanations.

Install XC Soar on an android phone. Free.

....you're done. 😀

- the end.

I wish someone would do the same thing for interplanetary robot spacecraft.

Total energy probes and varios.
That is a needed book.

Oh..Oh..Oh

How to fly out of a cloud without IFR training or an artificial horizon.
That seems to be a very popular topic worthy of a book.

Ilec has created a paper that covers this topic extremely well.

I guess part of the problems a
1-Limited market for buyers of the book (Soaring is small compared to the "reading world").
2-By the time you "sell the book" to a publisher (low chance to do so), by the time it comes out, 1/3+ of the info is outdated.

And, as I've stated before, not "everyone" has a Smartphone. Maybe it's a great thing for those that do, but at least 2 people in this thread don't have Smartphones.
