Default Winpilot for contest use?

Something I've failed to do so far is bug Richard about it. But I'll
take the occasion to write up something and send it to him.

Keep in mind that the crashing problem might be related to my
particular PDA (an HP 4700). It's the only one with VGA resolution (at
least it was six months ago) and the problem may be in how WinPilot
interfaces with that video driver. I have not heard other WinPilot
users having this problem, and I like its overall performance enough to
use it despite the problems.

BUT you should also be aware that I use two logger/nav systems; an
LX-7007 and the 302/PDA+WinPilot combo, so if one crashes I have a
backup.

For a complete vario/logger/nav package, I think the 302/PDA/WinPilot
combination is the best bang for the buck. GW likes it enough that he
flies with two complete setups and nothing else; he uses the moving map
on one and (I believe) the thermal assistant on the other.

And of course I meant to say "TAT" not "MAT" for mobile turnpoints...
