That's how I feel about those who choose to use varios
for TD contest flying.... What's the point? Fly the
freakin' airplane... ;-)
This technology makes a vario look like a ribbon on your antenna.
I'm kind of surprised that varios aren't being used in
UAV's to sustain or extend flight. Pretty simple
really. Or maybe they are and we don't know about
it... With Joe having a hand in designing UAV's, the
darn things probably thermal better than Bacus... ;-)
And that would be a cool thing in my mind. ;-)
I am going to keep using my Picolario, even if its just to make Daryl come
up with some more material for "flight line talk". 8-) (now that I can
tell he is sensitive to it)
