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? BT wrote in message ups.com... 2002,#27177.

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. 9B |

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.

Spar shrinkage was starting to hurt performance. 9B 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. BT |
