I guess I did miss the point! Thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers!

Dude! You missed my point completely. One poster was P'd off because his kobo was a dud. Me and my club members have maybe 12 or so KOBO's among us. We've had a few duds....some faded screens some bad USB connectors...some trouble with power supplies/ batteries etc.


But I still use the KOBO...and so do the rest of them...mine has worked perfectly for a couple of years...the ones in our club gliders are working fine.


For me, Tophat on KOBO is the ONLY way to go!

If you want 100% reliability guaranteed...don't use a kobo, or XC soar or top hat. The hardware, software, and installations are all "experimental" and subject to "issues".

Following that logic, should we not fly "experimental" gliders?
I've been using one of those cheap, experimental hardware platforms
with experimental software (XCSoar) for years without as many
"issues" as I read about regarding the higher priced solutions.



The so-called experimental hardware was created, you will recall,
with the entire world as a market, not just a hand full of glider
pilots. I would, therefore, expect its reliability to be
considerably higher.



YMMV
