Dittel glide computer

I too like the 7inch screen, I find 5" just too small for my 58 year old eyes.

My 5" Streak is mounted on a stalk about 6" closer to me than the
panel. In rough air, should I want to use the touch feature, I grasp
the Streak and, using a finger on the same hand, touch where I need to.
Mostly, though, I have the Streak pretty well setup for my flying needs
so I don't often need to touch it. It makes necessary changes
automagically.

With all due respect, Isn't that what anyone does who purchases a ClearNav, LxNav, LxNavagation, Butterfly, Ilec... We pay thousands and the manufactures do keep developing better and faster software/hardware. Just like in our daily use computers, phones...

I had been out of gliding for 13 or so years and was very impressed with the new instruments, the big screens, electronic TE, instantaneous wind, solid state flux compass, and Flarm really impressed me. I would be duly impressed with a HUD. Maybe next glider.
Most of the things you mention are in my "sensor suite/vario" category. Touch screen display is critical for sure, I'm not sure if the optimum place for it is in instrument panel. There is huge difference between 5-7 inch display installed in panel and same display installed a foot closer to eyes. Not to mention using touch screen with arm stretched.

I have one year experience with this instrument. It is a very good device. The visibility in sunlight is unbeatable. It has a fast processor. And the price is much lower than comparable LX systems.

OpenAir.
It has its own software.

Hello i am using the Gliding Computer Advanced since four weeks now. Good readable Display. Many Configuration Features (like all new Gliding Computers). After some hours training i can say it's a nice System like LX9000 or somethink like that.
