Excellent, thanks, thats what i thought but wasn't sure if there was
something funny with the Tasman. *Obviously they assumed that anyone
flying with a nice audio vario would also have a TE probe when they

btw this thread reminds me of this classic storyhttp://www.jimforeman.com/Stories/varios.htm

After yanking the TE probe out of my glider i managed to fly twice as
many hours as any previous season along with two 300km+ days and get
my gold badge last year. *I came within 4 miles of diamond goal.

Think of what you would have done if you had TE!

Hi Tony,

Yes. *Any vario (including the Tasman V2000) will work fine when connected
to the TE Probe (for TE compensated static) or directly to the static port.

Tony,

A TE defiantly makes a difference in light weight glider, and the
Johnson probe did much better for me on my 1-26 than a store bought
probe did on the tail.
A couple of notes, I mounted it just behind the removable rear canopy
on my 1-26B, and I made it somewhat higher than Johnson did in the
article to get it out of the dirty air from the cockpit. Also,
mounted a permanent tube that it fits down into, so I could experiment
with different lengths of TE to make sure it was in clean air.
