Default Cost of IGC approved loggers

Oh?

What about those contest pilots who have lost whole
days because they screwed up using a CFR?

=2E... And those are fine for the OLC, but for badge
work, you'll still
need an IGC Certified Flight Recorder. Minimum price
I've seen is
$750. None of which answers the original question,
but I suspect the
costs adjusted for inflation are very close. It should
also be
mentioned that there are dozens of ways to mess up
a badge attempt
using a Baro and camera, that just aren't an issue
with a CFR.
