In your opinion, what was the best performing vario you have ever used? Specifically, the one that got you centered in and to the top of the thermal in the least amount of time.
















Let's ignore products because they have the latest "bells and whistles" add ons, latest technology, sexy appearances, or best computer processor. Basic performance is the only criteria.
















I've heard some say the legacy Cambridge units and some say the Sage mechanical.
















Which unit did it for you?








For those of you that are flying the ClearNav varios. How do you find the wind data on the vario (not SeeYou, LK8000, etc.) compares with your buddies flying with SN10s?








Thanks,




Craig




There's wind data? I haven't found it on mine yet. I thought that was one of the as-yet un-implemented features!

It's a bit hard to tell from the ClearNav website and from Cumulus Soaring. Sounds like it might not have been implemented yet...
