How about using the spoilers to help aileron control during takeoff and
leave them open until 30 KIAS? ;-)

Actually, mine stopped working a few years ago... Tests just fine on the
bench, and the syringe on the pitot works too. But leaving the spoilers
unlocked to well over 30 KIAS doesn't set off the alarm. Had Gary, when
he was at CAI, check it out during the last calibration and it worked
just fine. Very odd indeed.

Tom well then obviously you need to order a new ClearNav vario... I
expect/hope they are U/C and spoiler switch pinout compatible with the C302.
