Spotis a pretty cool gadget except that its buttonology sucks. To
deal with that, I created a concise abstract of theSpotfacts and
instructions that prints onto a 3"X5" card to be conveniently carried
in the cockpit. I suspect this could be useful to otherSpot
owners. Download at:www.wingrigger.com/wingrigger4_004.htm

Looks good, but I have to say theSpotmounted to the back of the
headrest scares me. I wouldn't want it hitting my head at 100kts if I
crash.


My Spot is working just fine strapped to the parachute near the
shoulder, this way it will stay with me if I bail. It does occasionly
missing a transmission but I guess this is happening when thermaling
steep.

I'd honesty prefer you had the SPOT mounted on the glider. Instead of
worrying finding about a missing pilot in a parachute we could be
salvaging a nice ASW-27 instrument panel :-)
