I have used a V1000 attached to the TE probe on the PW-6 for three years
-- perfectly satisfied.

Time to start a new debate.

How do pressure transducer varios compare to traditional mechanical
varios in club use?
Can you mix and match a capacity vario and a pressure transducer vario
on a single TE probe?
Do students - please note NOT experienced pilots - find the lcd display
units easy to use, or are moving needle varios better (I know we should
be using the audio - but for the times when we want to see the climb
performance the question is still valid)

We are looking at replacing some vintage mechanical varios, and have
some debate about the advisability of needing electrical power for the
vario and the relative benefits of the Borgelt B40 and the Tasman V1000,
and of course another set of Winter mechanicals...

Being a computer type, I am biased towards the "no moving parts" V1000.
So - any views?
