LXNAV 8000 OAT Incorrect

Isn't it ironic that the US persists in using the outdated Imperial system of measures inherited from and now discarded by the British, with whom you fought a war for independence, rather than the metric system invented by the French who sent you the Statue of Liberty?

Not at all.Â* Winning independence from an oppressive government does not
mean that a country must cleanse itself of everything taken from that
government, nor does receiving help from the French in our war of
independence mean that we have to take their form of government,
measurements, literature, etc.Â* What's ironic is that the rest of the
world can't stay out of our business.Â* Everyone hates the USA, yet they
all line up for the benefits to be gained from the US. Take care of
yourselves for a change, pay your own bills for once, and leave us
alone.Â* And you might take the UN with you when you leave.

And you get all that from a gentle observation!? Quite alarming really.

This is the kind of isolationism that worked quite well.

until December 7, 1941.

Entire prologue snipped...

Sheesh...

Your point being George Santayana was correct in observing that those who fail
to learn the lessons of history are destined to repeat it?

Lessee...prior to"isolationism" - (You stay out or our face, and we'll stay
out of yours.) - there was a whole lot of appeasement to go around on the
European continent...after a decade or so of the League of Nations ignoring
more-or-less-global (e.g. Asia/Africa) aggressions...which was clearly the
United States' fault since the very idea of the League can be laid at Woodrow
Wilson's feet...after the European (and here I include the European part of
Czarist Russia) continent went nuts over an overly exuberant burst of
nationalism in the Balkans...

I think savvy readers get the idea. It shouldn't be necessary to nod toward
the fact United States forces bailed out Europe's squabbling butts twice (in
both global conflicts). But, hey, RASidents can all look on the bright side:
WW-I arguably led to the development of soaring as we know it today!

Looks like it may be a long northern winter on RAS...

Exactly, "Your point being .. was correct in observing that those who fail

Time and time again history has shown when you start a moral, political, social debate on a SOARING newsgroup you are bringing the rest of the group into discussion they did not sign up for, so let us respect the other members of the group, and conduct ourselves accordingly! Another little know fact, it is entirely possible to let a small quip about another's country go unchallenged as in this group most likely it was issued in jest. Happy Christmas spirit all!

Yup and we fixed all of that, too, and propped up Europe and Japan for a
long time afterward.Â* Sheesh get over the US envy.

Nice try, Jonathan.
What a load of rubbish this has turned into!
Is the LX8000 sensor working properly yet?
Jim

Worth bearing in mind that the OAT signal actually goes to the vario and
not the LX main unit.

The spec of the probe was changed a few years ago when some new vario types
were introduced (we had to fit a new probe when we upgraded to the V9
vario) so if you have changed the vario recently you may have the wrong
probe.

Also make sure the probe cable hasn't been cut and repaired, my
understanding is that you can't do this as it changes the resistance of the
unit and throws the readings off so if it has you need a new probe.

Nope not yet.
