Contest participation

Along these lines.. what's the cost for something that will work as a logger? I've seen some interesting hacks with a Nook, and I have a couple old ones lying about. I'm just wanting to spend the money once for something that will log my flights, and be useful in the cockpit. I realize that there's a BIG range when talking technology. I just want something that will work for badges and beginner contest.

Thanks

Loggers

It depends what you want to do with the log.

For OLC and some low key events all you need is a smart phone (it actually does not need cell service) with XCSOAR, or TopHat loaded - they all produce a good IGC file and cost nothing. IGCDROID will send the log to your email, but you need service.

For contests and badges......... you need to look at each event and know how strict the requirement. the Nano is probably the most used and cheapest logger for badges and contests.

if you fly with other pilots, there are almost always loggers around to barrow.
