Thanks Bruce. I had heard they were available but still were a bit lacking in the response department, but that was a couple of years back and things have clearly moved on.
We will most definitely look into the ClearNav's etc. Possible the only thing that concerns me more out of ignorance than anything is how the gyro technology responds to engine vibration in both performance and reliability. Has there been any issues with engines and these types of vario's that your aware of? Thanks. Michael.
