It's actually a power series: 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/2_%E2%88%92_1/4_%2B_1/8_%E2%88%92_1/16_%2B_%E2%8B%AF it converges to 1/3 so you will always eat afterwards ;) >> Youngest has a PPL (UK and FAA) and flies, both mine and his RV6. > >But, is his interest purely recreational?

But the software takes as long - because 90% of the functionality is now connectivity! MbedTLS etc. There is even an HTTP server (simple: I wrote it myself) for config.
