Default SN-10 wind problem

Hi Gary,

This is a long shot, but are you sure that the winds weren't simply
different at altitude than on the ground? A 45 degree difference is
probably not that uncommon.

Good Soaring,

Paul Remde

My Ilec normaly does a great job calculating the wind while ridge
soaring here in Hood River, Oregon, but for the last few flights it
has not been giving me the correct wind, even with lots of circling.
It was off about 45 degrees all day yesterday. I rebooted it before
the flight but that didn't seem to help. Has any one else seen this
problem and have a fix or am I going to have to send it in again?

Have you checked / calibrated the SN10's IAS ?
