Dear Tom and others,
Sort of related ....
Do you operators at/near the top in Nationals favour using while
cruising a vario set to relative mode, ie showing all the time what
happens if the glider were slowed below 60 knots, in effect airmass less
glider rate of sink at 60 kts?
Cheers

For myself, I am not interested in any variometer cruise modes so am
content with my B400 and B40 in our second glider. Interestingly both
Bruce Taylor and myself seem to muddle along OK with sink tone disabled!
;) Tom

Mark,
The idea is to fly in air that's going up. You should not be hearing
the sink sound much. If you are it is time to go somewhere else and be
in cruise mode while doing this when you won't hear the sink sound.

poorly. It is extremely important when trying to center weak and
broken thermals which is why I like a vario with a sink sound as it
provides full information on the bad air as well as the good air
while doing this.
And on that note, I'd like to congratulate you for the B50, which, as
installed in AUGC's H205
Club Libelle, had the most inspiringly depressing sink sound I've
ever had the misfortune to
hear.
Excellent work, well done :-)
