Yes folks it's true, the GliderKeeper Pico is the First Glider Altimeter with Flight Duration Option and FAI Approved Firmware for F5J.

The GliderKeeper Pico is a competition altimeter and time keeper that brings simplicity to your F5J competitions. While it may look like other FAI altimeters, it comes packed with all sorts of useful features that the others don't have.

For example, to time your flights accurately, the flight timer is started upon throttle movement at launch; and ends at the moment your glider touches the ground, thanks to the built in accelerometer.

Whats different about the Pico?

The Pico has been redesigned to be lighter and smaller than the previous model. The OLED display has been removed and is now a separate device that can be plugged in after the plane has landed or you can just leave it connected.

For a limited time we will be shipping the Pico with a Free, Pico Display module!

View your flight results by plugging in the Pico Display module or switch the GliderKeeper into WiFi mode which allows you to view your results and or configure the device on your smartphone or tablet. Set the altitude your motor shuts off at, setup logging, update firmware and more, all without removing the unit from your aircraft.

There is also a new programmer module available for the Pico. The programmer connects to a Windows PC and to the Pico. This is useful for performing major firmware updates and downloads to and from the Pico at higher data rates than can be accomplished wirelessly. Here a link to the Pico Programmer.
