Hi All,Ron M has suggested a date for a Davis XC event. It happens to fall a date that I will be racing at the Reno Air races. I asked if he might cinsider...
Rich, October 17 and 18 is the same weekend as the Central Valley RC Aerotow event. Both Dean and I were planning to attend that event. I can't speak for...
Hi, check out the Sanav ML-7S GPS logger seen at the bottom of the page: http://www.electrongps.com/store_trackers.php This might be better than the one...
Wow, $59. Now there is no excuse to fly without a gps logger and score the contests with gps. John ________________________________ From: bobnelson97006...
All, If someone has one of these units and/or logs generated by one, I can take a look at them and see if they can be converted to IGC for use in StrePla,...
I just added a couple of pages to the SVSS web site about the XC contest in Davis on September 26th & 27th. http://www.svss.org/XC/cross_country.htm and ...
I notice the XC threads on RCGroups keep getting buried in the "Thermal" sub-forum. If Dynamic Soaring rates its own sub category why not XC? RCGroups has a...
Many RC glider enthusiasts (my self included) have great interest in Cross Country Soaring but are geographically disadvantaged. L "Thermal" provides exposure...
I think everyone interested is already scanning the Thermal group, and we are only looking at 2-3 threads per year. ... From: regisyh <regis@...> Subject:...
Greg, If you said "2-3 /messages/ per year", I would agree. The occasional contest notice is about all that happens here and those could be posted to RCGroups...
We are planning a 2 day XC the weekend of October 31st at Cal Valley. The weather should be comfortably cool but the lift still good. Please let me know if...
Now that most of have a GPS logger, I thought it would be good to use the GPS logs to verify the distance and confirm that turnpoints were made. I need...
Does anyone know about "Winscore". This is a fullsize racing program that may work for us. GPS scoring will become the standard at XC events at some point. Bob...
Greetings all It's my opinion, that in this "game" we play we must (and can) must rely upon the integrity of the participants. I refuse to believe that any of...
It will probably come down to being more conservative with turnpoints. Getting to the turnpoint in the vehicle before the glider, stopping, then making a wider...
Are the coordinates (lat, long) available for the Davis XC? I would like to load the coordinates into my gps. John [Non-text portions of this message have...
Hi, I just got back from vacation. Give me a few days and I will post the screenshots of turnpoints made and missed at Montaque this year. These jpgs are from...
Bob, I took a look at winscore and I could not figure out how to use it. It would be great to have a program that scored the contest. Let us know if you do...
We need a program that adds mileage around the turnpoints even if the turnpoint is not made. OLC or On Line Contest for full size must do something like this...
Hi, I've create many directories here of all the screenshots of turnpoints made by all the teams. These were from files on Dan Edwards' site. Thanks Dan!!! ...
Hi Bob, some of these jpg's are a little confusing to read due to so much thermalling path clutter but I was looking at one of them regarding the start. Team...
Hi Steve, sorry for being confusing but that's what the sailplane was actually doing. Now you might understand how difficult it might be for a program to...
Hi Bob, I remember your telemetry system (using a palm pilot or something to monitor... Bamburg's team?). Looking at the Team B start jpg it looks as though...
Bob, Thats really good work assembling all those files. It really gives a good idea of how the gps logs can be used to verify flights. Is it practical to...
Steve, you are exactly correct - it was with a Palm and I was on Bamberg's team. The system worked well when it worked but it was not consistant enough to...
Reliability was another problem we experienced at Cal Valley. A couple units did not work at all and several teams had problems with initializing the GPS link...
Personal opinion on downlinking and looking at a screen. Hard to see in the sun. Almost needs a dedicated person to look at. Weighs too much for my at the...
If I'm not mistaken, either StrePla or SeeYou should give you what you need. I've used StrePla for full-scale course planning and post-flight analysis and,...
