You are talking about See You Mobile, not See You Recorder. See You
recorder is only a flight recorder. It doesn't let you look at your flight traces at all. It is a free app. Thanks, missed that. |

Inexpensive portable IGC data recorders
The FR300 might be just what my club is looking for. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with them?

Inexpensive portable IGC data recorders
I'm particularly puzzled by this statement on the FlyWithCE website: "Internet connection is required to generate secure IGC files."
- why would an internet connection be needed to secure the file? Seems like a contradiction in terms. - does the logging device itself connect to the internet, or just the supplied software? - if the latter, can the flight logs be extracted without that specific software? Personally I wouldn't accept a recorder that does not generate stand-alone files in its memory that can be transferred to any computer as from any USB memory stick. |

If I'm reading the manual correctly (and I admit to just skimming it), it would appear the internet connection is only necessary to generate a secure file. You can download the file from the device and it's stored locally, but by connecting the FlywithCE server it then generates a secure file for OLC flights (and I presume, Silver and Gold badges). You don't have to connect to download the file and the device itself doesn't connect to the internet.

I think for robust, durable, bullet proof, idiot proof logging I'd go with a Nano.
There is nothing worse than doing a flight you planned out, completed it and then having a logger failure. Been there, its a bummer. Get a Nano and you will have trouble free logging for all levels of certification. |

I'm an OO; have worked with multiple FR300's with no problems (when there was internet nearby). I have had one failure with a Nano - last day at a Canadian Nationals I was scoring. It showed as corrupted usb drive; pilot had to open trailer and get the backup and we were a bit late for the dinner. Agree that generally they are very reliable, and good up to world records. The FR300's are inexpensive and work well for the price. |
