Glider Racing in the future
In February '96 I had questions about the future of soaring instrumentation.
Had a day off in Montreal, rented a car and drove to Waitsfield. Had coffee in the CAI shop, and talked with them about the glider GPS thing they had developed and tested at Omarama. My approach was: Why should I let this thing into my cockpit? Came away convinced it wasn't a horror. Bought their (then) new model 20. Where would we be without that technology today? Imagine everyone buys in to new tech, some more reluctantly than others. The SSA convention would be a good place for technophobes to learn how to embrace new soaring technology. Jim
