Hi,
I highly recommend the LXNAV Nano or Nano3. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lxnav.htm#LXNAV-Nano http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lxnav.htm#LXNAV-Nano3 You won't regret investing in an IGC approved logger. They much easier for you and your official observer to use than a "Position Recorder". Best Regards, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. ______________________ "jg OY" wrote in message ...

If you plan your flight to land at another airport you only need a barograph and witnesses at your landing location. Something like a Replogle is adequate for that, and very cheap nowadays. According to the minutes of the 2014 IGC Plenary, deleting stand-alone barographs passed as a year 1 proposal, and will be voted on next year, for inclusion in 2016 Sporting Code. Don't invest too much in a Replogle lest you have an expensive paperweight. I think the "FlywithCE" position recorder is the answer up to Gold Badges - until everyone has a PowerFLARM, good up to Diamonds. If your resources are greater, the Nano is very nice and reliable too. http://www.fai.org/igc-documents; then 'meetings' then 'plenary Varese (ITA) 7-8 March 2014' then 'minutes' then 'igc 2014 plenary meeting - summary of decisions' then para 8.2.1. It might fail in the Year 2 vote - but I doubt it. Dan 2D |

Well, he asked for cheap and you can probably find a Replogle for $20 or
less [some on eBay for $10] and it will be good until at least 2016 apparently. I easily found some paperweights that cost twice that much. :) "Dan Daly" wrote in message ...

He also knows of no one that will calibrate it. Anyone...anyone? "Dan Daly" wrote in message ...

I have owned the FlywithCE FR300 for 2 years now and have been very happy with the performance. You can declare tasks with the downloaded software/logbook, download flights and analyze them with SeeYou, Google Earth or other programs and the device was approved for badges including altitudes (with a 100m? margin.) I just hang it around my neck, remember to turn it on before each flight and off afterwards, and then take it home that night for analysis of the multiple flights. Good luck with the badge flights!

Oudie IGC is even better, and even more expensive. At my club most silver distance attempts now use the FR 300 - and accept the 100m extra height margin required. As an Observer I am quite happy with it - (I downloaded the software to my laptop). |
