While we are talking about building it right in the first place: There
are many issues with long air tubes connecting a TE probe (typically
back in the tail) and the vario(s). How come I havn't seen a vario
design that puts the pressure sensor near the probe, and connects that
to the panel part of the vario via electrical wires instead of air
tubes? You'd want to build that with a way to access the pressure
sensing unit for future maintenance or replacement. The sensor does not
need to be immediately adjacent to the probe, could be down near the
tailwheel, or somewhat more forward in the tailcone, wherever access can
be arranged.

I don't think that's relevant with modern pressure sensing varios though
it was with the older flow sensors. This is because a pressure change can
propagate along a relatively small tube a lot faster than air can flow
through the same tube.
