Please Buy from Me
I work very hard to provide detailed product comparisons for soaring pilots.  I hope you will find this web site useful.  I also offer excellent support to customers who buy from me.  The best way to thank me for the services I offer is to help support my business by buying from me - and please tell your friends about my company.

Comparison Table
I've done my best to get complete and accurate data, but some of it is difficult to find.  If you see any errors or have any suggestions for the table below please let me know.  My goal is to make the table as accurate and complete as possible.
