Key Features #

  • 270° clear variometer display, ±5 m/s (range configurable), high readability
  • Fast, low-noise climb indication using smart Kalman filtering
  • Load-factor-based polar correction (g-compensation) for accurate netto vario
  • Speed-to-fly (STF) indication with command arrows
  • Integrated 3 W speaker with configurable audio profiles and warning tones
  • FLARM alarm screen with wind corrected heading of traffic
  • Seamless FLARM integration (task declaration, configuration, flight download from XCSoar)
  • Simplified setup with automatic data routing (wireless, S1, S2)
  • Bright, high-contrast IPS display, sunlight readable
  • Stable wind calculation in circling flight (extended with compass support, in future release)
  • Flap assistant with dynamic recommendations (ballast, speed, load factor)

General Functions #

  • Barometric altimeter with QNH setting or automatic QNH (airfield altitude)
  • Speed display: IAS, TAS
  • Adjustable MacCready, water-ballast and bugs settings
  • Stall warning
  • Outside air temperature (OAT) via digital sensor
  • Battery status display with configurable voltage thresholds
  • Extensive polar library (>150 glider polars), editable speed polar
  • Compass Heading (with magnetic sensor)

Audio #

  • Configurable vario sound (frequency, chopping, dual tone, deadband)
  • Multi-spectrum variotone with adjustable harmonics
  • Distinct audio warnings (stall, overload, gear, FLARM)
  • Multiple audio profiles (aligned with common variometer sounds)

Interfaces #

  • Wireless: Bluetooth (Classic und BLE) or WiFi access point
  • 2 × RS232 (TTL level), S1 Flarm and S2 in IGC standard
  • CAN bus interface (e.g. second seat device, and or magnetic sensor)
  • FLARM bridge (IGC FLARM, configuration and data exchange)
  • Inputs for flap sensor or landing gear warning

Sensors and Systems #

  • AHRS (6-axis: 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer)
  • Optional digital compass (external sensor)
  • Temperature stabilization for AHRS for improved long-term accuracy

User Interface #

  • Rotary encoder with push function and progressive acceleration
  • Streamlined setup menu with reduced submenu depth
  • Inline configuration pages
  • Quick exit from menus via long press
  • Context-sensitive setup hints
  • Auto-timeout to main screen after 16 s in flight
  • Persistent warnings during setup
  • Bottom-screen message area for alerts
  • Clean overlay display for FLARM warnings
  • Rotating FLARM view aligned with aircraft attitude
  • Improved main variometer readability
  • Fully overlap-free display layout

Flight Functions #

  • Flap assistant (configurable, with external sensor)
  • Optional landing gear warning via shared input
  • Wind calculation (circling; straight flight with compass support)
  • Ballast reminder from previous flight
  • Improved automatic STF switching with selectable delay
  • Instant response to external STF switch
  • Thermal assistant with enlarged, clearer display

Hardware #

  • Integrated speaker (3 W output)
  • Compact design for standard 57 mm or 80 mm panel cut-outs
  • Housing depth: 35 mm
  • Strong aluminum enclosure, matte black (low EMI, shielding)
  • Low power consumption, typical 100 mA at 12V, or 1.2 Watts

System #

  • Software update via WiFi (OTA)
  • Interface reconfiguration on-the-fly
  • Automatic CAN device detection (e.g. sensors, peripherals)
  • Improved boot logic with instant availability of the variometer
