Curt,
Consider an electric audio vario like the Westerboer 911 vs. any mechanical instrument (incl. Sage, way overrated). - The Westerboer has pressure transducers so it doen't need a flask. - Mine is just as sensitive as my Cambridge 302, they move in perfect sychronism. - You only connect 12V and your TE tube to the instrument. - The tone is very pleasant, nicer than the Cambridge and of course you can turn it down - When the going gets tough, I switch to the Westerboer, better in really weak lift - You should have two batteries anyway, no need to carry a steam gauge for fear of running out of electrons. I've been flying all electric for over 5 years, no problems. - The price is about the same as a good mechanical instrument - Tim Mara used to carry these, I bought two from him over the years, there might be something on the used market. I'll e-mail you direct a picture of my panel! Herb, J7 (Curtl33) wrote in message ... WTB: (USA) Mech Vario 57mm(2-1/4) Knots In good-excellent condition. Please send pic if available.
