Last I looked, efficiently finding and centering thermals is even more
important in a Ka-6 than it might be in, say, an ASH-26E.

The Johnson article was in the June 2005 issue of Soaring...

Marc, that was not the point (and you know it :-)). having the T.E.
compensation work over a wide dynamic range makes T.E. compensation
less of a challenge given the performance of older gliders like this.
That is not a slight on the Ka-6. I'd put in an easier to install
fuselage mounted probe and spend that extra money you saved buying
beers/dinner for your tow pilot.

BTW I center iron thermals perfectly in the ASH-26E.


I would assume so 8^)
