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.



Hi

It is unfortunate that the Flight Computer display is one large size only.. A 70%screen,like the picture in the Soaring magazine advertisement, would fit my LS6panel. Any other option?

Regards

Yea, get a glider with a bigger panel

Seriously, I flew this year with both the CN vario and the LX climb vario (V3) and the sound matches quite well between the two and so does the needle (only climb tested). Very rarely you hear something out of tune. So after flying many hours with both I can say they are pretty close but the LX Vario sounds much more pleasant to the ear. I bet the LX Navigation Vario is the same. It is good we all have difference preferences or life would be very boring.
