Scott,
Normally not a big deal but the flight manual for a Grob Twin clearly asks for a vario in knots.

Anyone have an 80 mm (3 1/8") Winter Vario in Knots available ? Contact: Tim Hanke E-mail: Ph: 518-693-6849 So, I understand a knot is equal to 101.2 feet per minute, is the requirement due to regulations or a non compromising desire for 'the right scale? I completely understand either, Just wondering. Scott. |
