FlyWithCE's development and testing has gone on for well over the past two
years with a variety of GPS Data-logger devices to get to this release but
now these tiny recorders are now in stock here at Wings & Wheels. They are
very tiny, in fact would be small enough to hang on a necklace but should
like all other GPS devices set in a location stable enough to keep the top
facing skyward to receive GPS signals. Weighs only 1.5 ounces without
batteries (2 AAA) and 2.3 ounces with batteries installed. I flew with one
last summer, a prototype which worked very well but the new version has far
better, production software making them very user friendly . They record the
data stored on IGC data-loggers (but without IGC approval) and flyWithCE
Flight Recorder will record signed flights that can be used for competitions
like OLC , they should be acceptable loggers for contests where IGC
data-loggers are not typically required. These are not the same GPS data
loggers that you might find elsewhere but have been modified by the
manufacturer to spec for FlywithCE include GPS data as we use for IGC type
flight verification. At this low cost nearly any glider pilot can and will
have the opportunity to view and share flights with their friends and
participate in further flying adventures.

This spring I have released two new products – flyWithCE Flight
Recorder and flyWithCE Logbook.
Flight Recorder is the smallest flight recorder on the market (and
also the cheapest). It has built in internal antenna and memory large
enough to record 100 hours with 1s recording rate interval (recording
rate is adjustable). Device is powered by two AAA batteries. With 1000
mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries you will be able to record up to 8
hours long flights. There is also option of external power supply.
Flight Recorder is very easy to use. Together with the device you will
receive Logbook program with which you will be able to download and
view flights in your IGC file viewer (SeeYou, Strepla...) or in Google
Earth.
Device is not IGC certified and does not have the pressure altitude
(records GPS altitude) and engine noise sensor. It will produce signed
IGC files (signature is required by on line championships).
If you would like to know more about the recorder I would recommend
