Hello, I find this quite interesting from our perspective: http://www.liquavista.com/products/liquavistaColor.aspx This is a "epaper" screen with full color and capable of doing 60 frames per second. The e-paper has a physical property, e.g. there is no backlight that needs to fight the sun.

My glider requires a small amount of top rudder to keep coordinated in a left turn. A right turn seems to require the appropriate amount of right rudder. The glider flies straight and level ok with maybe a minor amount of right aileron and left rudder. Wing incidence is close (.1 of a degree)...

Recently sold my glider with LX 1600, Colibri and 3800 series Ipaq running SeeYou Mobile. I liked the set up ok, but there were some minor glitches, as I'm sure there are...
