Hit the damn post button with the heel of my hand. Thanks, Nelson However, If you open the case, you will break the electronic seal and future IGC files will not be accepted as valid. Better to send it to Gary at Clearnav to fix. |

CAI 302 needle fell off
It’s not hard to do. As mentioned above, you’ll lose the “good seal”, but if you’re not downloading your flights from the 302, it’s not an issue. Tiny dab of superglue will work.
