Remote Control, Stick Mounted with Wooden Handle

After spending a number of months gathering pilot input regarding shape and determining a method for accommodating the wide range of stick diameters, we are in the process of finalizing our design for a machine carved wooden handle mounting the Remote Control keypad (including an additional button for PTT) to the stick for convenient in-flight use. We expect to have the design finalized and to make this part available through our dealers by July 2009. Retrofitting for the Stick Handle Remote is possible at any time after installing the ClearNav, and having the backup handheld remote is recommended to enable use in other gliders or at home with the power adapter.

2-seat Second Seat Installation:   The same mounting options and components are used when installing the ClearNav in the second seat in a duo glider. Two ClearNav systems installed in one glider will operate completely independently as they each contain a GPS and full functionality. If one ClearNav is connected to a Cambridge 302 for airspeed data, a CANbus extension cable may be used to connect the two Nexus Boards to enable sharing of the airspeed data. Additional data and function sharing may be available in the future.
