Default Glider Cockpit with 4 Varios! Why?

I think we should clarify by "electric" we actually mean "audio" Most
electric varios still get there information by pnuematics ie a static and
TE probe and are driven electrically. I had an electrically compensated
Ball vario (no TE Probe and absolutly hated it. Its compensation changed
during the flight with temperature and was very confusing. Using the SN10
now and 66's discarded Sage from a glider or two ago. I use the Sage
mostly when low and scratching to help center small lift and the SN10 for
everything else.


The Sage is probably the only mechanical vario I would consider using
(fast response plus high "cool" factor) but I didn't have room for it
(it's a big SV) in my small LS6 panel - plus it's being put to much
better use in CH's Ventus!
