What two instruments?

Darn right I'm bored.

So you're at a contest and grinding away in a furball thermal with too many others. What two instruments get the most "looks" and in what order?

The other planes next to me become my vario and maybe aglance or two at airspeed

Outside and perhaps yaw string, it is in field of view. In a thermal your eyes are better than flarm, your eyes also tell you the pitch angle to keep a steady speed. You might look at your thermal helper, but if you practice, even on condor, your ear should tell you what you need to know about the thermal. Nothing good happens inside.
