Default Vario Comparison

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?
