FYI - the USB socket is on the rear of the Sport-EX making it hard to get to.?
I use a small USB hub to provide access just below the panel (this is in a C182A) like this:?
and a small thumb drive to be inobtrusive like this:?
I'm sure that there are plenty of other options, these are just the ones I locked onto first.

As Don mentioned there are two types of data recorder in the GRT: Demo Recorder and FDL (flight data log).? It is the FDL that you need.? You need to turn FLD logging on in the settings menu, under general setup.? Then you need to have a USB drive in during the flight.? There are two other parameters, the record interval (1sec default) and the save interval (60 second default).? The first is the time resolution of the recording and the second is how frequently it downloads the data to the USB drive. After that you don't need to do anything.? If you have a USB drive plugged in it will record and if you don't it won't.
The FDL file is in .csv format so you can open it in a spreadsheet and look at it.? That is what I did for reviewing my phase 1 flights.? In this case you can drag and drop the file into the website.

Thanks Mike,
Do I need to do anything special on my GRT Sport EX to download this data?? Do I have to go into settings and enable capture of the data etc.? ?Can I just attach a thumb drive and export the data?? ?I will be in big trouble if it monitors centerline deviations :).? ?I constantly work on trying to land and stay on the centerline but still need to do better.
