XCWarn – Retractable Gear Warning for XCVario
Protect Your Back, Your Wallet, and Your Pride
A gear-up landing happens faster than you think. A gear warning system saves you from:
1. Severe Injuries: Protect your spine, neck, and head from violent deceleration forces upon impact.
2. Costly Repairs: Prevent $3,000–$10,000+ in gelcoat, composite, and structural fuselage damage.
3. Wasted Time & Embarrassment: Avoid hours of painful field retrieval, weeks of grounded flying time, and awkward conversations at the airfield.
Invest once, fly worry-free. It pays for itself the very first time it alerts you!
It is a MUST HAVE for every glider with retractable gear.
For all XCVario systems equipped with an S2 interface.
