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.

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.
