That sounds expensive for two second hand 35mm cameras with pretty
basic requirements - a tripod screw thread (for ease of mounting), and
auto wind-on. *Is b&w film acceptable? *If so a developing drum is
cheap again of Ebay.

However I can't think of a single reason I'd want to do it that way.
If nothing else looking at the trace from a flight recorder can be
very interesting, though I conceed that if you are not bothered about
it being valid for claiming badges, just about any Garmin GPS can be
plugged into a PDA running free software giving a cheap way of
recording flights. *My club provides barographs (EW-B) for all club
single-seat gliders which does for Bronze (if not done by direct
observation) and Silver badges.

The Willamette Valley Soaring Club has an older Colibri available to
any member to use. *We also have a number of Palm/GPS setups in the

also provides power for the Palm. *Very convenient and easy to move

By the way. Thos Palm GPS units can be put together for under $200
and you'll not only have a logger but a flight computer as well.
