Mech vario - Static vs TE?

I would recommend splitting the TE line as far back from the
instrument as possible (6 feet is probably plenty, but more doesn't
hurt) to avoid interference. Otherwise the varios seem to "play" with
each other and you get pretty bad compensation.

Quick question -- for a mechanical vario (such as Winter), do most people hook up the static port to the TE probe, or the static line? It seems the TE probe would naturally compensate the vario for stick movements, but is there a disadvantage? -- dbrunone

Connect to total energy probe.
If used with a non flow type electric variometer, connect in parallel and with at least 6 feet of tubing from where the TE lines from the vario join to the TE source line.
