Mike,

Congrats on the new gadget. It sounds great. Since you are here and talking about TE compensation, there is a dumb question that I've often wondered about.

In theory TE = MGH + 1/2MV**2

but ideally, should V be the plane speed vector with respect to the air or ground?

The air. But that isn't as simple as you might think.

More on Dynamis on our website. See the article "Horizontal Gusts" and under products - Dynamis Variometer System.

I'll put up some more articles and maybe comment under "blog" on the website over the next few days. Also pricing.

I'd like to get the next few local systems installed and test flown before release to the wider world.

Mike


Hi Mike, would you consider putting the Dynamis user manual (or draft) on your website for practical information about fitment requirements etc?
