I suspect that the one I have is technically no longer IGC approved since
the latest approval document states that Models A, B, and C must have
version or upgrade dates after May 1997 and mine has AEWAB1238 9716 in the
data file, which seems to indicate the 16th week of 1997 as the date of the
firmware version.

I have emailed EW Avionics to confirm this but am not optimistic about
hearing anything back from them.

Hi there

not a good idea to set the rate at more than 5 sec.
At the recent
Russian Qualifiying Grand Prix an experienced pilot
had a sample rate
of 10sec and missed his last control point and bagged
himself a 5
minute penalty.

Dont set the sampling rate to low with the model B.

On my first 300k attempt I set it at 5sec and ran out
of memory 2/3rd the way round. It then just stops
recording. Yes i was that slow it took me 5 1/2 hrs
altogether.
