And that, my friends, is why I'm sticking with clockwork and silver
nitrate!

Which, I believe, are no longer accepted for badge/record claims (at
least in the US - no sure about Britain) - so why bother?

If you really think using a barograph is easier than a logger, you are
a real Luddite!

Cheers,

Kirk

I have no connection to the company, but I absolutely _love_ my
ewMicroRecorder. Flew with it in a few different gliders at a few
different places this year and it worked great everywhere I went.

Built-in GPS and a fully-approved IGC logger for all levels of
flights. It has ONE BUTTON to turn it on and off (and it
automatically turns on if you supply it with ship's power - for "hands-
free" operation). Plugs directly into a PC or Mac to grab the IGC
file (like a USB thumb-drive), or get the SD-card version and just
pull the card at the end of the day. No menu-insanity or switchology
like the Volkslogger or a lot of the fancy flight computers (I can
hook my PDA up to the MicroRecorder and get a lot of the same
functionality, and if the unit is hooked up to ship's power it can
even pass that along to the PDA and charge it in-flight).

Even if you have a comprehensive flight computer, the MicroRecorder is
a great secondary / backup unit. Its also the perfect "club logger"
because its so simple and rugged.
