Great, Doug! When you get yours, remember to post a comprehensive review.

About a year from now, I'll order mine. Don't get me wrong, I really want one but the Galileo-5030 was by no means perfect upon release.

As the shirt says, "Looks great! You go first."

Do the "Hands Free" laws apply to hang gliding? If not, I want one so I can talk on the phone and text while flying! Oh Hell - I'll just talk and text no matter what the law says - it won't affect my flying.

It has an optional FLARM/transponder, which is also available for the 6020 6030 at I think $130 which give collision avoidance warnings.


I'm waiting for the Condor telemetry download app so when a condor flys within say 400 meters and is fitted with a Solar Patagial GPS data logger, you can download the birds GPS telemetry.
