I'm about to replace my Peschges VP3 glide computer (which, if anyone wants
to make an offer, has the two-seater dials as well and (sort of) works). All I want is an audio vario + an averager display. I don't want Speed to Fly or Final Glide calculation. Ideally, all in a 57mm cutout (then I can fit a turn and slip to the 80mm cutout left free). So far my choices appear to be the Borgelt B40 and the Tasman. Both come in at about GBP 260 + taxes (around 400 euros). 1. From the comments I read the Borgelt is very good. Can anyone confirm that I can fit a toggle switch so that the needle shows 23 sec average rather than current lift/sink? 2. The Tasman is pretty new. Does anyone have experience using one? Is the sound musical or annoying? Is the LCD readable in sunlight? 3. Are there any other options at a similar price which I should consider? I've already rejected the XK10 (needs two dials) and the Clever Box (too clever by half). I used to fly another glider with an Ilec, but the SC7 is more expensive than the two above and 80 mm. All comments gratefully received. |
