I am on my second season with a V7. Like John I experience less than 100 percent satisfaction as I slow back into the "sniffing around" speeds. Speed to fly actions and tones are excellent when running flat out. When feeling the need to stop and thermal I find myself using my secondary mechanical vario more than I previously did. As a fix I installed a switch near my trim knob and convenient to my left hand. I switch to climb mode manually when transitioning to "I need a thermal" mode of thinking. Downside is this puts LK 8000 in climb mode also as I have the PNA and V7 synced. This throws off my Task Stats in the LK8000.



Hi
I am surprised Borgelt instruments, B800, are not on this list???

All said I do love my V7.

Lane,



I also have the V7, LK8000 combination and find it works well. Same issues with sniff mode and will probably change the flap switch to engage thermal mode at 0 rather than +1. I've got a lazy question (haven't gone through all the manuals yet). Is there a way to disengage only the McCready communication between LK and the V7 to allow keeping the LK on a final glide MC while setting the V7 to a lower cruise MC?



The V7 firmware upgrade this year also opened up more options for using the acceleration sensing functions built into the instrument. Does anyone have a clear understanding of the algorithm being used and what advantages it should offer?



Thanks,
