ESA Systems TE and Multi Probes
-
When ordering probes, it is important to specify what socket is installed on the glider into which the probe is inserted.
-
Most gliders use 8 mm probe sockets but some use 6 mm
-
If you are unsure as to what socket is used on your glider, please tell me the type of glider and year of manufacture when requesting a quote
-
Most probes are available in a variety of finishes including carbon fibre, nickel plated or anodized aluminium.
