HANGGLIDING - INSTRUMENT POD SETUP

A brief explanation of my instrument pod and the instruments that I fly with.

[@alfonze24]

That pod looks fantastic! Gordon is a clever man!

[@MooSurfer]

Cheers David - I'm sure he agrees with you!

[@jackiehornsey7306]

Thank you for explaining that, I have wondered watching you how it worked. You have made these videos fascinating to watch and I like your sense of humour and maybe even your singing! 😊

[@MooSurfer]

Thanks Jackie... I have a little more singing coming up in my latest videos - just for you ;-)

[@Highrockman]

[@vmlinuxz]

Just stumbled on your channel and subscribed, Great content man, thanks!

[@MooSurfer]

Thanks David! More to come soon with the British Championships next week...

[@stevensmith516]

Darren thank you for all the world meet coverage but how did the team and you do?

[@MooSurfer]

Thanks Steve - I came 49th (slipped after scoring zero on my airspace day) and the team was 6th. Of note, Grant was 8th and Gordon was 15th.

[@MrMoyesboy]

@@MooSurfer 16th actually

[@MooSurfer]

@@MrMoyesboy sorry Gordon, my mistake... Though at least I erred the right way and didn't say you were 17th!! ;-)

[@paulmobleyscience]

Thank you Darren very informative

[@MooSurfer]

You're welcome Paul - glad you liked it

[@MrMavnkaf]

The Digifly is a ripper instrument!

[@Highrockman]

Darren Im intrigued with the Kobo addition ..Where did you get the softwear to load to the Kobo and is it necessary to add the vario you mentioned is connected to the Kobo ..Also, I would be interested to see your radio set up.. which one do you use? How is it set up in your harness and connected to your helmet etc.. Great videos by the way

[@MooSurfer]

Hi Rich, the KOBO software is LK8000 - www.lk8000.it/ There are lots of guides on how to install and use it on the internet. Yes it is necessary to either add the Bluefly vario or a GPS chip - otherwise the KOBO has no way of knowing where you are - the vario / GPS feeds your positional information to the software in the KOBO. My radio is a BAUFENG (£30) with a headset attached that I bought from Simon Murphy- I'll do a video to show the setup!

[@Highrockman]

@@MooSurfer Ended up buying a used Kobo in the UK then shipped to Nev for the conversion ..Really excited about using it this XC season..

[@jeremieyirmeyahu3468]

Hi Darren thx for the video ! Are you still happy with the Digifly ? Heard they have some building quality issues (espec USB port)! They are making one build especially for HG now !

[@MooSurfer]

Hi Jeremie, I love my Digifly! I have had it two or three years now. I have not had any quality issues with it at all. Best instrument I ever had.

[@levelneville5401]

NICE This video gives the most detail explanation of the Digifly I ever seen. Does Gordon make a 3d printed version for the 6030 & kobo combo ?

[@MooSurfer]

Yes Neville, I think he probably does make that combo as that is what he flies with himself. Although he's not making / selling them because of the time involved. He did this for me as a special favour. If you contact him he might share the files with you.

[@levelneville5401]

​@@MooSurfer Good news just brought a Digifly Air BT pitot after my 6030 went dead before launch. Hence needed a second instrument as a future backup. Wonder if I could get a copy of your AirTools & AirPages files ? It would be a great starting point for me to modify. cheers

[@xavitrod5802]

Thank You Darren, wat kobo model is it?

[@MooSurfer]

It's a kobo mini.

[@xavitrod5802]

Thanks !!

[@Jhchanghm]

Thank Darren, I'm about to get a fly master, go back to look at kobo in ebay

[@MooSurfer]

I had a Flymaster before I got my Digifly - that is also a good instrument that I would recommend, though I don't think it's as good as the Digifly.

[@Highrockman]

Do you know anyone that sells converted Kobo mini's w/ HG Vario + GPS?

[@MooSurfer]

Rich - I'm sorry I missed your comment. Yes - Neville Almond - look him up on Facebook.

Looks like more than not stepped up to top less before their time.. Jesus that was a bunch of shoddy landings..
