My new glider seems to have a very nice TE installation, so my bet is on the pneumatic route, but if anyone has direct experience with this instrument (or on the topic in general) I would appreciate any feedback. Oh, and same question on my Cambridge 302 ... I used electronic TE compensation with it in my 304CZ, but I'm not sure that was the best way to go. And if I connect both instruments to the same TE probe, how much should they be separated in tube length? -ted/2NO (it's going in a Ventus 2c) Back to top Udo Rumpf Guest Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:58 pm    Post subject: Re: Electronic versus Pneumatic compensation in LX7000 Mike Borgelt recommends the Y junction to be installed well behind the pilot seat. I flew over 10 years ago with an LX 4000 and electronically compensated it worked flawlessly. Udo ....

Without a flask to introduce airflow, they will not introduce pressure errors, and pressure is what they sense. I'd put the tee close to the instruments. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA Back to top kirk.stant@gmail.com Guest Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2005 9:33 pm    Post subject: Re: Electronic versus Pneumatic compensation in LX7000 Ted, since you have the luxury of the option, why not try both and compare? I would suggest hooking up your primary vario to the TE probe, and setup the other to use electronic TE. After a few flights you can decide to keep it that way which will let you still enjoy a TE vario if your probe falls off inflight (or the tubing gets pinched, etc..). If they don't match, you can go with the better of the two methods. BTW, I use electronic TE on a Westerboer VW911 for several years and really liked it - no problems with yaw or gust sensitivity (on an LS4).

This will create an interesting post for many of us.
