Stewart,
I sell WinPilot and have used WinPilot for about 7 years. I flew with the climb maximizer for the first time last season and was pleasantly surprised. I thought we all knew how to center a thermal. WinPilot gets its data from the vario and GPS Input. The display shows the thermal with an arrow that points at the strongest lift the arrow gets smaller and is a dot when the thermal is centered. It also has the additional feature of lift dots on the main flying screen. WinPilot also has a beep when you are in the strongest part of the thermal. Please see my website and give me a call if you want more info. Richard Craggy Aero www.craggyaero.com Stewart Kissel wrote: I googled this topic and found a few threads...but nothing to recent. Anyone out in cyberspace want to provide input from *actual* use? I am not intersted in started a flame war over the 'purity' of using these devices. Just curious as to how they have worked out. I drop waypoints into my GPS on occasion when I work a blue thermal that is on my return course...but other then that I use the conditions outside the cockpit to hunt thermals. I noticed where WinPilot now has a means of evaluating multiple flights to determine ahead of time where thermals may be...sort of a refinement of CH's project. |
