I started by replacing my CAI-302 with the analog CnV XC vario.Â* At the
time, ClearNav was offering a 25% trade-in allowance for the 302.Â* I was
very happy with that deal and the XC vario worked great with my
Streak/XCSoar.Â* After I got the Stemme (I kept the XC vario and Streak),
I moved the Streak to the right side, added a CN2 glide
computer/display, and magically hooked them all up together.Â* Oh,
yeah...Â* Then I added a CN digital display to the vario.Â* I'm very happy
with the whole shebang.

I have the full CN2 display and the square LCD CN vario. I originally had the round CN Vario. Reason to get the LCD CN vario? I wanted the thermal assistant! The thermal assistant 3D view is great stuff (not that I seem to stay up dramatically longer). HOWEVER, cost can be an issue. I assume it is still the case that you have to pay an extra $600(!) for the XC license just to get the thermal assistant. This is over and above the vario's base price of $1950. I get that the XC license adds navigation/task functionality plus IGC certification. But I don't need those as I have the full CN2 display plus a Nano 3 as back up. To me $600 seems a bit pricey just to get the thermal assistant. My $0.02. Thanks John OHM Ω

PS - Rex - Any update on new CN2 software? Thanks.
