Too bad... not the (already very modest) protection, but the manufacturer's reasoning on the matter... They should just omit it entirely and offer/install a carbon fiber seat board instead...

The combo with a smartphone is affordable. (or a G4/G5 tablet). You have a backup for your gps track and a precise vz sensor to feed Xctrack thermal centering tool. If the sound is as descriptive regarding air mass as other flymaster instruments (especially "zeroing"), this could[…]

At first glance, the manufacturing process is quite high for this product, as if Ozone took an extra step in refining the construction details and finish. Soft links are installed, and Ozone recommends not removing or replacing them with another link type. For me, I should[…]

If vector was assembled on sphericalmount like described by shoulder, vector distance to riser would increase slightly. [ goto post ]

Author: shouldersSubject: Re: Vector VarioPosted: Mon Mar 02, 2026 11:06 UTC (GMT 0)Topic Replies: 159 Having g thought about it during the discussion: Actually a very simple solution would be sort of a ball which is mounted permanently on the riser(s). On the instruments side some kind of tight-fitting spherical clamp would do the trick. This would have additional advantages: 3D-adjustment, the option of attaching a secure line to the instrument. One could even make that clamp exchangable (screw?) in[…]
