nanoAlt Altimeter now available for preorder

From Rene Limberger

Favionics, a new venture of Rene Limberger & Allard van Wallene would like to announce the preorder availability of their latest product, nanoAlt.

nanoAlt is the smallest, lightest, lowest power, highest resolution and largest recording capacity altimeter module on the market today! nanoAlt was designed for a variety of applications where space and weight are highly restricted such as FAI and other FreeFlight classes. The power consumption of nanoAlt has been designed so it can run off the smallest power sources available today, including watch coin cells or even solar cells.

size: 9mm x 15mm x 3mm -

weight: 0.8g -

recording capacity: 43min @ 9Hz -

power supply: 3.4V-6V -

power consumption: 580uA -

resolution: 10cm (19bit) -

samples @ 9Hz (9 samples per sec) -

records altitude & temperature

 Windy Weather F1A

This is an enquiry e-mail via http://www.faifreeflight.org from: Karl Hube <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.> Can anyone suggest a source for information on Andy Crisp's work on rough-weather F1A's? I have plans for his "Flashback", but I understand there is more data available from his development work. The objective in this hunt is to adapt some of the proven features to a better Classic Towline.

Hi Roger,

FYI, on the AMA Glider site, Stan's PO Box # is listed as 1677, NOT 1977 as per lee's blurb in SEN 1354 http://www.schnable.net/hosted/amaglider/assets/outdoor-gliders/handlaunch_gliders/stans-stuff-2009.html -
