Winter Vario # 5493
Anyone know what size flask is requied with this unit. I have one and
can not find specs on Winter's web site. Also, is the flask size critical to the accuracy of the unit? Instrument is 57mm and +/- 10 knots. S Nr. 05493. Instrument was purchased by me second hand. |

Look to Wings and Wheels. If it is a linear scale, normal response rate vario, it need a .45 liter flask. If it is logarithmic or fast response, it will take a .90 liter or 1.8 liter flask. The model number and the look of the face of the instrument will tell you what you have got. It may also have the flask size requirement printed on the back of the vario. My guess is you have a standard repsonse rate, linear vario. .45 liter flask. If you use a flask that is too small, the vario will show less vertical than what you are doing. If you use too large a flask, it will say you are doing more than you really are. So, yes. Flask size does matter! :-) Hope this helps! Steve Leonard Wichita, KS |

Winter Vario # 5493
Hi,
According to the data on my web site, there is no such thing as a 5493. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/winter/varios.htm But my web site was created using a recent catalog which may not have been 100% complete. Yes, the flask size is critical. Is there a model number on the unit. That may help nail down whether it is a standard, or sensitive, or logarithmic unit. Paul Remde wrote in message ...

Hi,
Also, the Winter web site does not list that model number. http://www.winter-instruments.de/eng...belle_mit.html Neither does their catalog. http://www.winter-instruments.de/dat...nstruments.pdf It must be an out of production model number, or an incorrectly written down number.

The number is 05493 and is printed on the face of the unit. This must be an out of production unit. It says 1,8 Ltr on the back which I suppose means 1.8 liter. I was hoping it took less. Looking at Winter's cataloge it seems the 1.8 liter units are not the most common. That is quite a bit of capacity for such a small instrument (57mm)! This vario looks just like a 05483. Maybe the company will get back to me on Monday as to just exactly what the specs are on this unit. |

Winter Vario # 5493
you're listing the Ser# of the vario, not the model #
MOST will use .45L (roughly pint size) if it is standard linear scale it will be the .45L, other types Logarithmic and fast rate vario's may use .9L and even a few 1.8L capacities. the actual part # will be 5StV ______ see my website http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page19.htm with a link to Winter Catalog http://www.winter-instruments.de/ look under products for Table variometers incl. easa Form One http://www.winter-instruments.de/eng...belle_mit.html best regards Tim Mara Please visit the Wings & Wheels website at www.wingsandwheels.com wrote in message ...
