Standalone Flight Recorders for Club Use

John,
I sent an email direct to you but my guess is that it got lost as
spam. Do you have a source for those nify lexan boxes you have for
the EWMR on your webpage? Our club is getting one as well and that
would be a nice thing to have. The surgical tubing idea is VERY good
as well.

Thanks for the info.

We have been flying with the microRecorder for a few flights now and
have these comments;

1) The antenna needs a good clear view of the sky. I put the antenna
under my turtledeck in my fiberglass glider and found that I missed a
few GPS fixes during the flight. Nothing major and wouldn't have
invalidated the flight. No problems when I mounted the antenna to the
canopy. This problem did not occur on the Cambridge-302A version so I
can only imagine that the EW GPS receiver isn't quite as sensitive as
the Cambridge.

2) I was using the defaults for the configuration. After two flights
separated by 20-30 mins I found that there was only one log file
(which contained both flights). I am unsure if this could be a
problem for multiple flights with different pilots. Looking into this
I found that there was a 90 min auto-off timer. I reset this to 10
mins.

Otherwise the unit is working out well.
