Hi Fred. You are right about the decalage. I had to raise the tailplane LE by a few mils to set the decalage at about 1' and not the 5' previously. I can check where my CofG is, but about 50mm is supposed to be right. I think the manual says 60mm +/- 10mm either way.
You likely remember the roller coaster ride when we towed it before changing the tailplane incidence. I need to fly it off the slope yet to check out the adjustment, but it is widely reported on the internet to make this change.

I though their Vario looked interesting as I have failed to get my Jeti vario working and have run out of patience!!! ;-)
Fred, do they just take a static pressure reading? Alot of images on the website showing what look to be external piped connections or maybe these are just optional extras for better accuracy?
The data looks cool though!

Great to see Ralph. One of my favourite planes. Would love to have bought a Black Horse 20cc Wilga but not available now. Can't wait to see it fly......
