Raspberry PI - ADS-B

I have been working on a few Raspberry PI projects and seem to be a consistently drawn to an ADS-B project. The context is that I was planning a Flight Data Recorder (GPS, Gyro, and G-meter) for recording an Aerobatic flight, and find that there are several initiatives that use very similar components to build an ADS-B device. My thoughts are that the Data logging and the ADS-B projects could be combined to create a "black box" recorder that could used for 3 target markets: ADS-B out as per the original project. Data Logging for Aerobatic flight analysis as well as Schools and shared planes. "Black Box" information in the event of an accident or crash.   The projects of interest are: FlightAware ADS-B ground station https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/build/CA EAA ADS-B ground station https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-communities-and-interests/homebuilt-aircraft-and-homebuilt-aircraft-kits/resources-for-while-youre-building/building-articles/instruments-...

Aerobatic Season coming up

I am very excited about this season 2013. We not only have 2 contests that our local club will be hosting, but also we have a number of very good ideas for improving the new member experience. One suggestion is to host learning session on a weekend instead of regular meetings. Define a guest speaker and invite non-members. The suggested topics so far are: a "Reading Aresti" course. Also, a session on Maintaining a Pitts. about parachutes, how to get started in aerobatics, Etc
