This looks nice but does anyone have any idea when it might get approval as a logger. I waited almost a year with my PF and never happened (Sold the PF with the old ship). I am setting up a new panel this off season and if I buy this and a new PF I still wont have an approved logger. Do you guys expect the customer service to be better on this than the PF?

Depending on what you need your logger for, that SN10 that you have works fine for all US contests and OLC. And didn't you say it came with a Volkslogger, which is still on the list of approved loggers?

Those should work until either the PF or Butterfly get approved.

Yes, the Volkslogger is a pain to use. But the SN10 (with the USB adaptor) is as painless as it gets; unless you are going for badges give the VL to your local club, hook up a cheap GPS to the SN10, and go fly.

Kirk,
Thanks for the insights. Have not decided if the SN10 is gonna stay. From the earlier thread I just wanted to become familiar with it before I make my decision. The Volkslogger has been working well but it will get donated in favor of something more modern. If the PF gets approval the VL will be redundant.
Richard, Thanks for the update.

Kirk,

I just tested the current draw on the Butterfly Vario 200 to 300 mAmps. Maybe more YouTube to follow today.
