Hi Mal The Jaycar camera weighs about 170 gms + wire and screen about 0.75 kgs - to compensate (after removing one mirror - weight 1 kg)the pilot must consume 250 mls of water. Cheers Michael

What aboout the incraese in weight? If you both had a flarm then you could re write the software to incorporate towing then it could tell you or show the glider has released. There would be no more need for mirrors less drag but would the weight of the unit override the the lessened drag over the increased weight. Or you put the tuggies on a diet to reduce weight to increase lift thus reduce climb times mmm but then the tuggies may have more time to increase weight. Yes home sick and deliroius mal _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
