That seems like a long stretch. Do you work for them?=20

No, I don't work for them. But I do sell them, and all the other varios by
major manufacturers. I haven't met the same level of enthusiasm for
anything else. The difference seems to be that experienced pilots 'know'
what the air is doing, and a vario enhances that information. The ClearNav
vario seems to agree more closely with what a good pilot feels, and makes
centring and maximising climb more efficient. Likewise the instantaneous
wind appears highly accurate - a useful feature particularly flying in
mountains.

I was sufficiently convinced by the feedback that I bought one for my
glider with my own money, and agree with what my customers say.
