One option would be to go all out and install a CAI 302 and then plumb it
with electronic TE, which does work very very well in my Twin Astir.and
ASW 20.. you don't need a TE probe for this configuration.
Add a CAI 303 display and you would have a GPS engine, a certified logger
and a super easy to install and very easy to use computor/vario /final
glide computer that is accurate, and very easy to install the Ka polar and
easy to tweak to get just right.

Another option to install a TE probe, is to install one on the fuselage
top..Dick Johnson wrote a very good recent article on how to do this, it
is very low profile and does not have to be installed everytime your rig,
its permanetly installed and only aprox, a couple of inches tall and seems
to work quite well

Thanks for all the great advice. Rigging this weekend went a whole lot
easier than the first few times. besides the wings are still lighter
than some of the plastic ships at our field.

On to the next stupid question. I'd like to install a TE probe. From
what I can tell It never had a TE probe, but rather an internal
Schuemann Compensator. since I currently have neither, I really would
like to install some sort of TE system.

I am thinking of installing a standard tail mounted probe. The ILEC
probe and socket look good, but I am a bit apprehensive about drilling/
cutting into the tail. Any advice on what to do and not to do?

Thanks
