Default AH and minimum equip list

Regarding AH apps for Androids - I've downloaded and installed a couple of
them just to see how they work. They're so jittery as to be totally
useless. The other day, I stuck my Android to the window using a suction
cup mount and the talking in the room caused the window glass to vibrate
sufficiently as to render the AH useless. Imagine how it would work in the
cockpit... I've tried it there, too, and, believe me, I'd never attempt to
use it for cloud flying!

I've been working with the Dell Streak 5 using XCSoar as part of my
preparation to be as ready for the WGC as possible. Compared to my 10
year old hx4700, with an 8 year old operating system and a 5 year old
version of WinPilot, it is more advanced in every possible way. I've
invested a few $$ and far too many hours to get it integrated into my
panel and other sytems, plus training. If they ban XCSoar, I will be
****ed.

We should probably just go back to cameras. Oh wait! - people figured
out how to cheat with those too.
