Mechanical Vario
The Crossfell did work OK but the scaling was off, like it never ever showed more than 1 m/s The Crossfell in my RS-15 (glider now sold) gave 32 years of reliable service. The Crossfell was retired in perfect working condition. There was a rotary switch that changed the scale to 3x or 5x, I forget exactly which. Yours may have been set or stuck in expanded scale. Btw, mine read in feet per second. My mechanical backup was in meters per second. Meanwhile, over the radio everyone was talking about how many knots of lift they were in. ;-) and it would show down when I was going up. Yeah, that's an indication that something was amiss. -- Regards, Doug -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
