Could this discussion be the problem with a recent flight? At the end of a two hour flight, OLC recording stopped about ten miles from closing my triangle. There was no power interruption and the ClearNav screen never blanked out. Any thoughts here?

Sorry Evan but I disagree.

I fly with an Oudie 2. It tells me when I finish a task and the average speed on the task upon crossing the finish line. I really like that feature.

I'm not knocking ClearNav for not having it but I do think it would be an improvement to add it.

CN retains speed & distance stats IIRC.

You would remember way back in day the CAI 302/303 would give you 2 announcements.
1. You were approaching the finish.
2. You finished.
I still use that system and appreciate it and don't find it distracting.
Nice to know after a long day you completed your task!
Just saying

I'm guessing you have no CN2 time to speak of. CN2 SHOWS you exactly where you are w.r.t. the finish and your predicted finish height over minimum & your predicted time to finish, all the way in. The only thing it doesn't do is give you an "attaboy" screen and text all your friends about it. You guys are inventing problems that simply do not exist.

Evan

Ever heard that phrase about the customer always being right? Didn't
think so.

Well, after 20+ years of trying to provide glider related accessories, I can think of more than a few instances of the customer NOT being right. (Or reasonable. Or was calling from some parallel universe.)

- There was the guy that wanted a "lightweight trailer" that he could tow with his mini-motorhome. But he wanted:
-Room for a small car that he could use to commute while leaving his motorhome parked.
-Also, a way to hoist the glider and the wings high enough so he could have a workshop underneath.
-Also, he didn't see too much problem with having the trailer engineered so that the glider would be self-rigging without having to lift things that were too heavy, as he anticipated being in a wheelchair pretty soon due to his physical condition, which was deteriorating rapidly.
-Also, did I know of any flight schools that could teach him how to fly the glider he was thinking about buying, in the limited time frame he had left to live?
-And finally, he was trying to decide between (NO JOKE!) an SGS 1-26 and an ASH-26, because he "always liked the number 26," because it was the number of letters in Jesus's alphabet.

I have a few other "special request" stories that come close but this one definitely took First Place.

If you want to be effortlessly "right", then this ain't your sport, sport.
