Cool onboard equipment
Has anyone seen this?

I have version one in a plane that hasn't flown yet. It just records the data and you then plug into a computer and read the data. I understand it is upgradable to this version. Might do it.

..about $650 US for the whole system (I was told in Feb) they may have dropped their prices......I was interested in it mainly for the real time airspeed readouts.

Ya' that system is really cool...
 I fly for the local university's SAE Aero Design team. We're thinking about getting one of those systems for next year's competition. We'd probably have tried one in this year's entry but its a bit late now; the competition is next weekend in Texas. Its a bit of a steep price tag, if all you want to do is get data out of curiosity, but in UBC's case it would help a lot with refining the aircraft design and optimization. If anyone is aware of a user with the new real time feedback version, I'd love to hear a first-hand account of their experience with it! Kelly

Equipment
It sure would be neat to see real time airspeeds!
 I agree it is a little pricey though.Myles |
