I see that this causes a lot of mind twisting out there. That is mostly good
;-)
Maybe I should say that I did enjoy competing against pilots with varios in
the last Nats. The ones I could see did not beat me (not easy to spot a
vario among 10 others on the launch line...). Here in Europe we dont use
varios even though we can at some contests. So the only time I have competed
against any was at the Nats.
Bottom line is that I think it is a neat gadget like other tools but
personally I will not use it. But I respect a pilot on a learning curve to
use it. I just hope he leaves it home when he enters top 10 or something.

I dont like it but I have to agree totally with Daryl.. ;-) Though last WC
in Canada some wondered why I had binoculars with me on the field... And
many years ago I think they used bubble machines in WC F3B controlled by a
Tx. Even smoke and rockets have been. I hope we never come to that again.
I
like to win by spotting the signs nature gives.
No I have never used any electronic equipment or any feedback from the
plane
but I did borrow a picolario a few months. It was nice to test different
Rx
batteries in the cold. Incredible how much power 6 digital servos use in
the
zoom. "warning, warning..."
