The vent hole on the shroud is an excellent idea, McPhee alerted me to that you
came up with that idea - it's on my list to do this form2. I can only imagine
the life span it'd take away from my instruments.
I'd like to change my shroud color too, the color wasn't chosen by me. Another

Which turns out to be remarkably self enforcing, because for someone who's
only ever flown with a vario it's extraordinarily hard to get out of
gliding distance without one.

For the paleo engineless gliders you are likely to risk an outlanding with
its attendant hazards. Pretty stupid to risk breaking your glider or
yourself over lack of a backup.

Maybe not a Winter vario as backup but you should
have a backup. Adam's advice is probably the

I have just been choosing instruments for a new glider.
I did wonder for a moment after reading Adam's post whether I had wasted
money on the Winter Vario.
However I agree with Mike. A set on basic instruments (redundancy) is good
insurance. In my case I have something in case of electrical

It's easy: point the nose away from the field and wait. You'll be out of

Yes, Catherine lent me her son and newly arrived 2 seater with its
single vario which chose to rest the needle in the top right corner, so
we had to use the back up on the bottom of the back seat.

Nick,
I used the faster time constant Winter mechanical on every single flight (the
standard Winter is a nice instrument, but the faster version is magnificent).
It wasn't there as a backup (although it obviously could have served that
purpose). It was there as the primary. It was better than

The Winter got me home on the last weak thermal of the day a couple of times.
The electrics were still working fine, but the Winter had greater sensitivity.
Agreed. Although I use the audio from an electrovario, there's
something about the way the Winter needle moves which tells you far

Mike was the first to include this feature, but...
Every electric vario can have a backup battery.
Pardon the Text-O-CAD.
