Netto variometer
I wonder if netto variometers exist that indicate correctly during turning?
In theory you could approximate the drag polar with induced and parasitic drag. I am wondering if devices exist that do that and compensate for the higher g factor during circling.

Netto variometer
At the sort of angles of bank normally used for climbing in thermals, the
difference in sink rate compared to straight flight is only a fraction of a knot. The difference would hardly be noticable on a netto vario.
