More Vario Questions - ClearNav

I had my first flights with the Clear Nav vario yesterday and can
agree with what has already been stated here. I installed it as a
replacement for my old Zander 820D. The Clear Nav vario is faster but
does not act nervous. It also has much better gust filtering. The
ClearNav is the best variometer I have flown with so far. The software
is not yet in its final state and some issues still exist, but they
will be solved in the near future.

The sensor system can be installed seperately from the vario
indicator, but it also needs quite some space since the pneumatic
connectors are located sideways on the box. I'd also prefer a plug
system for the electric connectors instead of the simple connectors in
which each cable has to be mounted seperately.

Best,
Christoph

I have approx. 30+ hours flying time with a cn vario, I honestly feel I am stopping less often to turn in dud thermals than I was with my 302.

I love the readability and simpleness of the screen readout, I also love the stop watch which starts at the beginning of each thermal for a very easy math calculation of your entire climb height in the current thermal and nice reference of exactly how long you have been climbing.

So far I am a happy camper and it is only going to get better with each upgrade which can be done easily with a usb memory stick.
