Default FLARM Core weight

Anyone happen to know the weight of the PowerFlarm Core unit? It is not listed in the PowerFLARM Version 2.20 manual.
Thanks Stephen

Micha,

Let's join the rest of the civilized world including the scientific community in this country and do our cg calculation in metric units, in our case kg and mm. Until recently, we were the only country in the world besides Burma that still uses imperial measures. Guess what, Burma is converting I heard...

Hi Herb,
Indeed. I work with metrics all day long in the coffee business. Was just giving something back... The SeeG program works well with either unit. Course it uses Kg and not grams so you need a little math.
Cheers and good lift.
Stephen
