Just in case rampant cockpit tech wasn't problematic enough...

Oh, boy! Now I can stay at home on the couch and let my glider do my flying
for me!

Wondering about the rampant cockpit tech...
A technician standing up, like "lions rampant"?
Can't have that.

Bring it on, as long as they have Flarm so we can “avoid” them and
vice versa. Then we can see their climb rates and go anywhere, knowing
that many thermals will be marked. Put them up observing vehicle
thieves and rioters all over the country, and cross country gliding
will be transformed.

This has already been accomplished back in 2008 in an XC contest no
less.

This was a model Sailplane Contest, sponsered by DG Airparts.

http://www.xcsoaring.com/contests/mccc/2008/report.html

The group that had the autopilot placed in the middle of the pack
overall in the 2008 contest.

The model gliders were winch launched and flew up to a 75 mile
course. The autopilot team would launch and retreive the model
manually and once on course the autopilot did the rest. The autopilot
followed the course straigt line and would only thermal to the right.

Here's a link to the technical dissertation describing the glider and
systems.

Pretty cool stuff.
