I just received a Zlog and a Picolario. I'm interested trying both of them out in not only sailplanes, but electrics also. I've flown with an Ace Sniffler before for XC. If I did use these items on a regular basis, I would still come to the contest; just not use them for that particular contest.

And many years ago I think they used bubble machines in WC F3B controlled by a Tx. Even smoke and rockets have been. I hope we never come to that again. I like to win by spotting the signs nature gives. No I have never used any electronic equipment or any feedback from the plane but I did borrow a picolario a few months. It was nice to test different Rx batteries in the cold. Incredible how much power 6 digital servos use in the zoom. "warning, warning..."
