However, it will only send the information when the appropriate button is pressed: there is explicitly no facility for automatic position transmission: IIRC the FCC made that a condition for licensing the device. My guess is that most instructors would rather that their student flew the glider rather than remembering to push the Rino's send button every so often. -- martin@ : Martin Gregorie gregorie : Harlow, UK demon : co : Zappa fan & glider pilot uk :
