Tim,


The *Pixel Qi screen is OK in the sun notice they did not show any
true colors in the picture. * *If you want to see the best in the sun.

I have not seen anything better, and I have looked.

I don't need color and the reduced energy use would be extremely
helpful in the glider. *I look forward to this technology being tried
for use in the glider. *I don't see any data on the refresh rates in
the e-paper mode, that will be the determining factor if one can be
used in the glider.- Hide quoted text -

Tim,

I fly with two batteries one 9 amp hour, one 12 amp hour, with the
following equipment I don't have battery issues with 7 hour flights.

Equipment CAI 302, 303, Ultimate full brightness max current draw,
Microair 760, Microair T2000 transponder, Borgelt B400, Tail water
dump solenoid (this draws the most when used).
