very funny guys.

the reason im wondering is that i have to decide what im going to do

would be ridiculous to have such an advanced GPS moving map/
flightcomputer/whatever else it does in such an old low performance
dirt simple glider. *But then I wondered if this sort of high tech
device could actually be more useful in a low performance ship than in
a higher performance glider. *So I thought "easy! I'll just ask RAS
cause there are plenty of people there that fly high performance
gliders with high tech gizmos". *But I'm still wondering.


If you have the 12 Volts, it will be handy to have an approved data
logger and a highly visible moving map with a good glide calculator
giving, alt required, etc. Your sailplane value will double.
