Default More Vario Questions - ClearNav

I had my first flights with the Clear Nav vario yesterday and can
agree with what has already been stated here. I installed it as a
replacement for my old Zander 820D. The Clear Nav vario is faster but
does not act nervous. It also has much better gust filtering. The
ClearNav is the best variometer I have flown with so far. The software
is not yet in its final state and some issues still exist, but they
will be solved in the near future.

The sensor system can be installed seperately from the vario
indicator, but it also needs quite some space since the pneumatic
connectors are located sideways on the box. I'd also prefer a plug
system for the electric connectors instead of the simple connectors in
which each cable has to be mounted seperately.

Best,
Christoph
