I have noticed that there are lots of sports that also use variometers
and I have some comments/questions.

These are all standalone "outside the cockpit" variometers. I don't
know about their realiability or sensitivity how well these might work
"inside a cockpit". What I am impressed with is the innovative design
and feature sets of these devices.


I agree that the range of features, apparent build quality etc are
impressive. But which features impressed you that mainstream sailplane
varios currently lack?
