Randy and others, What are the error/accuracy/precision rates of a GPS system and how do they compare to the pressure sensing systems? And of course, how does the cost of a GPS based altimeter system compare. -- Jim Holliman -- Tulsa, Oklahoma AMA & TULSOAR RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
