Hi Scott, W have driven the hardware costs down to a point where make almost nothing on it. The aim is to recoup investment through annual pilot subs. You will be one who will understand the efforts to keep the back-end of dittolog running smoothly.
So , in an effort to be specific. - Dittolog will record the takeoffs and landings of all aircraft with Flarm, providing we have the FlarmID and the owners name registered. We also record the release height and time to release. (The tug dittolog monitors the following glider by dittolog and /or flarm transmissions) - A club is asked to pay the Euro30 per member for any flying member. - A Flarm can only be registered to a Flying member with paid subs. We have done all we can to make dittolog affordable for all clubs. If a member is not happy about paying A$39 a year , they really should ask the question ' Would i like to volunteer to be club treasurer?" Dittolog relieve people in clubs of an ENORMOUS amount of work. We hope the new pricing structure encourages people to take it on. Give me a call at the business to discuss you idea!!
