Hmmmmm, I am tempted to talk to the Air Avionics folk at the upcoming SSA Convention. But the last thing I need is another big big big project....


Here's smaller, related project with a quicker payoff: figure out the best ways to
use the Air Glide S for thermals, convergences, and finding wave; also, determine
what settings are needed to optimize it's performance. While you are doing this,
blog it, discuss it on the (not yet in operation) Glide S owners group, or add it
to the (not yet in operation) Glide S Operation website.

I'm not joking, because the Glide S manual barely covers the basics, and while
many of the owners use it very successfully, all that knowledge is not gathered in
one place where it's easy to access and discuss. Not only would it make the
instrument more valuable to us owners, but possibly, just maybe, it might rekindle
commercial interest in it. I'd be happy to help, and I already have stuff gleaned
from Fitch and others.

Eric,

I'm in for a Glide S user group.
