Agree totally with Roger. Even expensive probes sometimes can be no better than cheaper ones.
The best dollar ever spent on a glider is the TE and it must be perfect.

So the question may be has it done its mission such that a new TE from a quality supplier is a better option. I do see people/clubs persisting with old rubbish for TE heads when new TE costs say 1.5 to 2 aerotows and delivers benefit all the time in flight. My gut feeling is that they are sensitive to roundness of the tube and then all the usual parameters of tube diameter, square end, hole distance to end etc. Roger Druce On 18/02/2017 11:03 PM, Ben Coleman wrote: Hi all, My TE probe has some wear/corrosion on the leading edge so is not perfectly round (quite un-perfect actually). How will this impact its performance?
