We have some members that are interested in purchasing an IGC recorder to record their flights. LXnav has just come out with a new device that both records and has navigation. It’s called the Nano 4. This device is very similar to the nav displays some of us have in our high performance gliders. One of the nice features is that you can email your flight to yourself after you land using your cell phones hot spot, for viewing at home later. Here is a link to see the Nano 4. If thinking of purchasing, here is a link.

The LXNav Nano 4 is a very cool device. Certified IGC* recorder with a color display about the size of a deck of cards (display = 3.5″). Audio vario, terrain maps, thermal assistant, audible airspace warnings, etc. About $700. https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/lxnav-nano4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-0klhqw2-w
======================
Here are some other certified IGC recorders;
Naviter Oudie IGC – About $1100. Runs SeeYou Mobile. Largest 5″ display. Larger battery than the Oudie model 1 or 2 which is the exact same as the official IGC* recorder but just with an unofficial recorder. The PW-5 has an Oudie 2. I had an Oudie 2 in my old DG101 and loved the SeeYou Mobile software. https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/naviter-oudie-igc?search=oudie%20IGC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAMV61n7C5E
LXNav Nano 3 – About $600. Identical in function to the Nano 4 with a smaller “matchbook” color 2.4″ display. I currently use this as a primary flight recorder and a backup navigation device (if the lights go out in the cockpit). https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/lxnav-nano3?search=nano%203
LXNavigation Colibri 2 – About $495. Very similar in function and size to the LXNav Nano 3.https://wingsandwheels.com/lx-navigation-colibri-ii.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_pl9iLpxAc
LXNavigation Colibri X – About $750. Very similar in function and size to the LXNav Nano 4. https://wingsandwheels.com/lx-navigation-colibri-x.html======================
There are some other certified IGC recorders for sale on the used market from time to time on http://glidersource.com. Warning – They go FAST!LXNav Nano earlier models – The original did not have a display. Nano 2 is identical to the Nano 3 but with a slower processor and less bright display.
LXNavigation Colibri earlier models – The first model did not have a display. I owned a Colibri II which had a display size like that Nano 1,2,3.
======================
* Certified IGC file – Is needed for silver/gold/diamond badge flights, national contests and record setting flights. Non-IGC certified recorders can be used otherwise. The difference between IGC and non-IGC recorders is the incorporation of a pressure altitude transducer. There is free recorder/navigation software available that runs on you phone like XCSoar (https://www.xcsoar.org/). The Oudie model 2 is a very nice standalone non-IGC recorder and moving map display with the same functionality as the Oudie IGC. About $625 – https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/store/naviter-oudie2?search=oudie%202 http://aviation.derosaweb.net/Oudie/John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)
