setup would then be (I guess) something like

AirGlide sensor box IGC - AirGlide S - AIR Glide NMEA Interface Box - GG - XCsoar

You would probably want to keep your Redbox Flarm as AIR Glide doesn't have flarm integrated.


Obviously I am especially interested in the wind info. Is it shown (well) on the AirGlide S or do I need one of the bigger displays to gain full advantage.


The wind arrow is in the middle of the variometer screen, hard to think more prominent way to display it.

Is wind only shown *after* I start circling as mentioned in the linked document which would be a shame

No, wind vector is visible all the time.


Does the AirGlide send out this tasty wind (and inertial) info on the serial cable (at a fast rate) so that XCSoar could displayed it (maybe with some additional programming).

AIR Glide parses flarm traffic, gps position, altitude and variometer reading together and send them to CU/XCSoar. You can choose the format, AIR Glide can emulate LX or CAI data lines. I use CAI emulation, so my Seeyou Mobile thinks that it is connected to CAI302. AFAIK it does NOT send instant wind data out. For a long final glide I like to use averaged wind from longer time, instant wind gives you a lot of variation to arrival height. When close to airport I tend to follow more AIR Glide final glide calculation. It's nice to have both opinions.
