Be ready for the worst: I totaled my ASW-28 last summer. The next day while I was "out of it" in the hospital, the Feds (FAA-FISDO not the NTSB {because I didn't get killed I guess}) inspected the damaged glider and removed all paperwork and my smashed PDA. A few weeks later they returned all by...

I'm new to both of these products, and I'm a bit perplexed about a connection question. My iPaq has a cradle added to the glider by the previous owner, who like myself, ran WinPilot. The iPaq receives the GPS's NMEA stream from the cradle's connection to the LX5000. Works great, no problem. I...
