Ka-6 TE Probe

Marc Marc, that was not the point (and you know it :-)). having the T.E. compensation work over a wide dynamic range makes T.E. compensation less of a challenge given the performance of older gliders like this. That is not a slight on the Ka-6. I'd put in an easier to install fuselage mounted probe and spend that extra money you saved buying beers/dinner for your tow pilot. BTW I center iron thermals perfectly in the ASH-26E. Darryl
