Default Using new variometer technology to display real time lift coefficient?

Training is frequently the answer, and yet things that should be overcome by training keep happening.

Maybe we need training on how to do training so we can train the trainers.

i think good training is better than making an instrument "think for you" in this case. good fundamental training allows you to recognize an oncoming stall. outsroucing it to an instrument is needless, and in my opinion more dangerous than doing this one the old fashioned way. you have to learn to feel the glider. your ass is a more sensitive instrument for this purpose. like evan said, use the force. having said that, i've read some stuff about people putting yaw strings on the side of their canopy and making the critical angle of attack. THAT is a poor man's AOA.
