Flarm

I have this kit for around 600 quid..iirc my first Flarm rx cost around £300.
it’s got Fanet? Multiple gps..accelerometers..terrain data base ..vario ..baro and beeps..
on top of this it can be linked to a pretty screen or a paper type reader which one can load airspace into - and see in sunlight.
My first logger, around 5 times this price was faulty and didn’t do a lot ..still easier to use than smoking and winding a barograph..
The CAA even gave me a couple of hundred quid back as they were promoting in for flight safety.
