6030

Turn down the pitch a bit

I would like to say that I tuned my Flytec 6030 really well by adjusting Max.  Pitch for the vario audio to 25 m/s.  See this display from the FlyChart program:

Here the Max.  pitch is 2165 fpm (11 m/s), and I would set it to 4615 fpm (24 m/s).

I have found that it stabilizes the pitch for most climbs up to 200 fpm, but when the 6030 feels a stronger climb it is quite clear which way the strong stuff is.  It only wants to increase for the good stuff.  The original Max.  pitch setting at 5 m/s or 7 m/s was too skittish and it couldn't make up it's mind whether to climb or sink.

I found with a lower setting at 5 m/s the vario would be climbing and sinking constantly and you can't really hear the difference between 2 and 5 m/s but at 25 m/s max pitch it gets a smooth sound and tells you which side of the circle has the best lift.  At least that's my hearing.
