However, unless I missed something it does not record altitude. It does record altitude (and speed) when configured to do so, the description is not quite correct... Marc |

This is worth taking a closer look at. |

It is always wise to review past rec.aviation.soaring articles as this
item was discussed earlier. The reviews of the Trackstick (one word, not two) were not very good to say the least. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...d84e0fa f964f |
