No sharing!


Well, no sharing is best, but sharing is possible when there just isn't room without having the bottles require feet of plumbing to get to the vario. In my BS1, I have a Winter in series with my L-Nav. Knowing that internal volume of the Winter could have an impact on the reading of the L-Nav, I set my system up to be Bottle to L-Nav to Winter to TE probe. Yes, the winter acts as a bit of a gust filter on the L-Nav, but the L-Nav is still very responsive.

I guess that slowness and sharing of a bottle is why I haven't ever won a Nationals with my BS1. Oh, wait. I haven't ever taken it to a Nationals.

And, yes, Dave. I like to make you cringe with plumbing setups like this. Want to see my FLARM antenna setup? Hee hee.
