Tony,


my friend Dan is selling his Tasman, it is listed on Paul Remdes
website. My favorite "club" vario is the iLEC SC-7, it also has a
McReadring option.


Brad


i just emailed him


hmmm will the Tasman V1000 work on just a static port or does it have
to have a TE Probe? *No Total Energy on the Cherokee...


Tony,

add one of those vertical Nicks tubes to the Cherokee. what does your
winter vario use?

Brad


my winter is plumbed to the flask on one side and the static system on
the other.

i had a homemade vertical tube sticking up just behind the turtle deck
in years past. Built it according to Dick Johnson's article. When I
recovered the glider I left it off. Vario seems to work about the same
with or without it. Perhaps that drag reduction is why I've had so
many long flights this season
