Good review, clear and to the point.

You forgot to mention one feature of the Colibri which
might influence people's decision. The internal memory
back up battery needs to be replaced every few years
and to retain IGC approval this has to be done by the
dealer, not the owner. Having said this, I still bought
a Colibri as the best option. The user interface on
the Volkslogger really is vile in comparison.


It is true that the Colibri does have internal back-up battery, as do MOST
other flight computers, loggers and even avionics, the truth is that since
the Colibri was introduced now nearly 8 years ago, we have yet to replace
any of these batteries from routine use.....as long as the Colibri is used
frequently and not left dormant for very extended periods.
