For what you are doing with a G109B a pitot -
static type vario might work as the speed range
is probably somewhat restricted. They have
various problems which you might be lucky with in
your installation. We don't make them because I
don't need the support calls and in my experience
glider pilots have very limited ability to
observe and tune instruments due to lack of
knowledge caused by severe deficiencies in the
GFA training system and lack of encouragement to actually become less ignorant.
A simple TE probe is a much simpler thing to get
working. It wouldn't need to be perfect in a
glider with restricted gliding speed range like the G109B.
Can you get to the top skin of the turtledeck aft
of the canopy? How far aft relatively easily?
What is the tail static used for? If it ISN'T for
the ASI and the ASI certified statics are
elsewhere (check flight and maintenance manuals)
you might consider converting it to be a TE probe line.

Hi Folks,
Anybody out there have any knowledge on
installing a TE probe on a Gob 109 motor glider?
The current probe only had fittings/plumbing for the static and pitot.
Many moons ago I believe there was an option for
a all in one pitot/TE/static probe for the 109
however Grob in Germany no longer sells these.Â
A vario that does not requires TE probe would of
course be by far the easiest however my
understanding is that the technology is not there yet?
Any info on where to source a TE probe and its
mount as well as how/where to attached it would be greatly appreciated.
PM or mobile if preferred.
Thanks in advance.
