Dave, is this a PDA running in the tug? We have a 57mm LCD device called Flarm-NAV (soon to be released) which it could be possible to do a tug release message on it, also would give the tugs a GPS screen to navigate by if they need to go on a retrieve.

Cc: David Soutar Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Rear Vision Camera Hi Michael, You should talk with David Soutar who is well advanced with the software to identify glider release using Flarms in tug vs glider. We hope to get this going as part of our Fltops flight data recording system by next summer soaring season. Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Shirley To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 11:34 AM Subject: [Aus-soaring] Rear Vision Camera Lake Keepit is experimenting with an on board Tost rope recoil winch on our eTug that eliminates loss of rings, eliminates risk of tug upset (tug has a guillotine on the rope) reduces taxiing time, saving time and fuel. To speed up "take up slack" we want to mount a small video camera on the tug release bracket to see a colour marker on the rope (indicating rope nearly out) and also to see the glider has released. eTug has the ability to descend abruptly so safety demands certainty of glider release. Most car and truck rear vision cameras have a wide angle view - 95 to 110 degrees. We need about 45 degrees - can anyone help source a robust water resistant 12v video camera?
