Dynamic soaring telemetry

Ive met a long time local DS'er who wants to break the record.357mphwe are talking about doing some data logging so the question is what would you recommend for speed sensor (no pitot tubes) and G (75 +) . you can see in the video the speed and flight path are just incredible

  • Official speed records are normally done by time by two fixed points, and given that you just ruled out the only real alternative, I guess it's your only option. Also, I'm fairly sure you can get +-50G accelerometers, if you can't buy one, build it yourself (hint, they're a mass on a spring attached to a linear potentiometer).

    75+Gs!!! How about kryptonite-hardened carrier-phase GPS?

    No idea on sensors, but that was AWSOME!
