Hello All, I am returning to the sport after a 30 year hiatus. I have recently purchased an SHK1, which I am refinishing/restoring. My goal is to use this ship to earn FAI badges, not to fly competitively. Given this information, and a limited budget, I am looking for opinions regarding instruments, GPS, Navigation and logger choices as well as their placement on the panel. The ship came with three mechanical variometers, a sage and two winters, an altimeter and an airspeed indicator. What would a good panel look like and comprise? Thanks for any help. Bill I have a dell streak which I am planning on using, but am enough of a noob to have no idea what else I need. To fly badge flights I assume I need some type of gps and some way of saving data? Is that what a "volkslogger" is? |

A volkslogger is an IGC approved recorder, but so is the Cambridge 302, so connecting your Streak to a 302 gives you the recorder needed for badge flights and the data that the Streak can use for navigation and wind, etc.

PowerFLARM provides GPS and logging
in addition to traffic. One of our members runs Top Hat, an XCSoar variant, on a monochrome Kindle which is nicely visible. PowerFLARM, V7 and whichever flight computer you choose can be connected with some good synergy. |
