why 3 varios... taking a sample average and deciding from there?
and why would the wings have to be "profiled " in 3 years since new?

I fly with a 302 driving WinPilot, an LX 7000 and a
Winter vario. The 302/Winpilot is for primary vario
and task management, the LX 7000 is for alternates,
a second opinion on winds/final glides, and a full
GPS/logger/computer/vario backup and the Winter is
in case my electrics go kaput. Why do I do it? Because
I can.

and why would the wings have to be 'profiled ' in 3
years since new?


Ooooh, that's a sore point for Schleicher owners -
thanks for poking at it. My -27 goes in for sanding
this winter. Spar shrinkage was starting to hurt performance.

Sorry Andy... remind me to look for that if I every buy a used ASW.
I can understand the mechanical backup for no batteries on the GPS loggers..
N52AB (Original 9B) is well past time for sanding and painting on the wings.
But it serves fine as a club "transition to glass" ship and initial cross
country flying.

I should have added.. LS4 9B made the cross country across Death Valley from
Jean NV to Lone Pine CA twice now on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend.

Glad to see the old girl is still putting in the XC
miles - many happy memories in that cockpit for me.
Does it still have the Blumenauer vario? Now there's
an artifact!
