A group of people within the Academic-Glider section of the Technical University of Graz/Austria has designed a rather spectacular Flight-Computer, certainly a fine addition to any sailplane's panel too.
Best of all, the Glider-Nav-Computer can be build at home by DIY to material-costs of approx 400-500 EURO, depending of functions integrated and a 7" colour-display. Smaller displays (5,7" / 4,3")will reduce the material-costs.
The download of all necessary instructions, drawings, photos and software for is free.
Anything needed, inclusive material-list and a step by step building-instruction with several detailed photos can be downloaded at the designers-website, which is setup all in english-language.
A detailed article in German-language (soon in English too), describing the whole project, can be found via the following link:

Hope, that this project will be adapted and "cloned" by lots of glider-pilots round the world.
17 DIY-projects around the world are known so far, Austria(2), Germany(6), Switzerland(3), Netherlands(2), Norway(2), Italien (1), Poland(1) and USA(1). If anyone joins the group of self-builders, I would be pleased to hear about.

Best regards from Germany
