Three varios? Which one do you listen to, look at, connect to the Ipaq?

And I'm curious about how you use the 303 and Winpilot, since there is
some overlap there.

Well Eric, the Sage doesn't have a GPS or a audio. the B-40 does have
a audio, but no GPS and the CAI 302 does have a GPS and a audio. The
B-40 and CAI 302 have a adjustment nob for audio volume. The CAI 302
and the B-40 do have different audio outputs, so it is very simple to
hear the difference. My right ear is trained to hear the B-40, and the
left ear is trained to hear the CAI 302. The 303 displays alot of
useful information which is used with the read out of the CAI 302 (if
you go to the CAI website you can study this information and maybe
increase your x-country speed) but the CAI 303 doesn't have a moving
map display, as does the Winpilot. Winpilot does require a IPAQ to use
and needs a GPS, which in my case is the CAI 302. WinPilot is useful
for TAT's, MAT's and for contest flying and tid bits of information,
such as making a task before you go fly, FAI triangles, and other
kinda neat stuff, such as using See You to make a task at home, then
send it to Winpilot, so you can then send it to the CAI 302 when its
time to go fly. You can go to WinPilot's website, and check it out
there. Winpilot gives the user alot of information inwhich they can
choose what they wish to see/use. I have found the B-40 is great for
working weak lift, the Sage CVA is great for when I see 14-20 kt
climbs in places like Ely, Parowan, or Alamogordo. The CAI 302 is also
used as a speed to fly instrument, and that's alot more detailed than
I want to go into at this time. BUT Eric, the most important thing is
...its what I like. # 711.

why 3 varios... taking a sample average and deciding from there?
and why would the wings have to be "profiled " in 3 years since new?

I fly with a 302 driving WinPilot, an LX 7000 and a
Winter vario. The 302/Winpilot is for primary vario
and task management, the LX 7000 is for alternates,
a second opinion on winds/final glides, and a full
GPS/logger/computer/vario backup and the Winter is
in case my electrics go kaput. Why do I do it? Because
I can.

and why would the wings have to be 'profiled ' in 3
years since new?

Ooooh, that's a sore point for Schleicher owners -
thanks for poking at it. My -27 goes in for sanding
this winter. Spar shrinkage was starting to hurt performance.

Yes Andy, is right, and Bears do sh-t in the woods...... Hell, I
haven't even looked at the vario's for along time, I just listen to em
sing that majic song..........I am going to be at Pauls on the evening
of the 29th. You going to be around? # 711.

Eric,

I also use several redundant systems in my ventus. Sage, B50, B2000 &
WinPilot PRO. I used WinPilot PRO for Tasking , climb maximizer and
navigation, marking lift (lift dots), wind, final glide etc, the B50
for speed to fly (sound etc.) climb. Sage as a back up. ( I haven't
need it, but is does match the B50.) I set the B2000 for alternate
airports & landing fields in the area that I am flying and a check on
the Wind Calcs and final glide.

Sorry Andy... remind me to look for that if I every buy a used ASW.
I can understand the mechanical backup for no batteries on the GPS loggers..
N52AB (Original 9B) is well past time for sanding and painting on the wings.
But it serves fine as a club "transition to glass" ship and initial cross
country flying.
