Hi PatR,
Thanks for that information now I will private message Dario, and hopefully not annoy him,fingers crossed. Yes Pat I have started to use the cruise control the last month and a half and is starting to work well. I have done more testing on the relocation of GPS and I am very happy with it to date and still working on it for some improvements . I find that if you could reposition the barometer also away from the heat ,would give towards more stable flights without the variances of up and down. Barometers work on air pressure and we all know that hot air is less dense and less moisture there for giving you a different reading. When I flew hang gliders in competitions your vario ( barometer) was important for picking up thermals and they were important to give you extra lift to go further distances. I feel that being in the area near the main board gives you excessive heat and there fore movement on temperature changes. But I think that it is incorporated in the flight controler module. That is why if we have the MODULE from Dario ,he says has the .025 mtr accuracy in the 3D sphere ,that would solve that movement up and down with temperatures change and also shaded areas on the roof or building. But I will keep trying for it and my final report on the relocation of the GPS and some photos. Everything is looking very good at the moment.
