    I believe this to be important ; and should be addressed :

    Last month a HG pilot , rolled a landing and destroyed my Atos, that was parked over a tie-down near the shade-structure, I asked him why he didn’t turn Left and land into the designated HG landing aria ?

    His Answer : ” I didn’t want to walk my glider from way over there ; because I was tired”.

    Not only is that a dangerous way for a HG to land , (in the PG aria) but extremely Rude, and there should be consequences for anyone who does it intentionally !!!

    The vario says it’s EXPANDABLE

    Is the addition of an airspeed indicator ; one of the functions ? If yes ; then I will take it .

    Thanks Clark ; it looks Exactly like, what I’m looking for !! My only concern is can I see the altimeter display without using my reading glasses , because it looks kinda small ? I could see the display, on the Sentek.

    Good price on Ebay also ; $170.

    At 200-Lb , ( 90.7kg) in a swimsuit ; it kinda looks like by the time I add harness, reserve, and weight of the glider ; I may need the XL, judging from the specks from the 1st version of the Maestro ?

    This is the part I Like : … “At the leading edge nylon rods create an air scoop (sharknose), but only one rod is used on each opening. …

    ==================================================

    Kinda like the Gin Carrera   ? I Really Liked that glider ; busted through the inversion layer 4 times, and never once had a collapse of any kind , on that borrowed glider ! It was my first go , with a PG that had Shark-nose ; and everyone knows how turbulent it is , breaking up through an inversion layer !!

    Does this new Nova , have shark nose ?
