Seriously, none of the Winter ASIs come with 0 to 120 knot scales. In fact this is one of few ASIs that does. It seems very easy to read and the price is good. Does anyone have any comments on the brand (Skysports)?

The Winter ASW-27 ASI goes to about 160 kts. the arcs are of course calibrated for the ASW-27. for my homebuilt, I've tested it for a VnE of 135kts, so the arcs need to be changed accordingly. who knows, this glider may go to 160kts, but do I really need to go that fast?
