Also known by the design team as the A4 (Aggregat 
Vier) which lives on in US launch vehicles as the term "the stack".

Nice that the space business has its little traditions.

Don't be too sure of that. I'm mainly 
interested in having this device as an adjunct 
to our variometer systems that support such.

Anyway, I have a source of the same device but at a lower price.

The Russians kept using it until mid 50'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-1_%28missile%29

Note this :)

The R-1's insulated electrical wiring attracted vermin. In one January 1953 
incident, thousands of flood-displaced mice disabled many rockets by eating the 
insulation, requiring "hundreds of cats and repairmen".

Re: [Aus-soaring] Vertica Sports V2

2012-10-04 Thread Rod Merigan
Hi Greg,

I have loaded my unit with Car navigation software as well, I haven’t 
experienced any dropouts whilst driving.

I use mine for Paragliding along with a GoFly Pico 
https://sites.google.com/site/jarosrwebsite/goflypico/hardware  for barometric 
alt and vario information, plus a small USB battery which gives me about 20 hrs 
use on full backlight.

Paragliders don’t have the room for a 12 v system.

I have also got one of my customers a Glider tools Altimeter/ vario, Vladimir 
also has all the cables for the various flight recorders and flarms available

http://www.glidertools.com/cables/

I have a reasonably current (march 2012) Australian Airspace file that I have 
added CAR166 airports to, if you are interested.

If you hear of anyone looking for a V2 , I might be cheaper than the other guy.

 

Cheers

Rod

I'm fairly sure Mike Borgelt is selling them too, along with cables to power 
off glider batteries and to connect to flarms, varios etc.

 

I bought one from the U.K a few weeks ago and have flown a few hours with it. 
It's very easy to read even in direct sunlight. Way brighter than any pda and 
when you turn it off, it's off. It doesn't need to be kept on charg like many 
pdas and pnas.

 

I must admit that the internal gps stopped working for at least 10 minutes in 
clear skies. I plan to run mine off the flarm to avoid this and to get the 
on-screen flarm display.

 

Cheers,

 

Greg.

Hello Rod,

At a very reasonable price too. What a shame you did not post this email two
weeks ago when I ordered one from the UK!

I think the Vertica looks pretty good, especially as a backup, and it is
refreshing to see a distributor in Oz selling things at a price which makes
buying from overseas unnecessary.
