Default Small Altimeter Options for Gliders

Speaking only to readability, I recommend the digital option. The 57
mm Winter altimeter is horrible, because Winter decided to use a 10
foot interval and thus overcrowded the dial. If they had simply used a
20 foot interval, like the 80 mm United altimeter, it would have been
1000% better.

Having said that, I recommend that you go with whatever your Flight
Manual calls out.
