Default Butterfly Variometers - In Stock

Can this vario use electronic TE compensation (only pitot and static
connections) or does it require a TE compensated pressure source?

HI,

Below is the response from Marc at Butterfly.

Currently we do not offer electronic compensation.

Why: Our experience + many Akaflieg studies (Research groups at German
Universities) clearly show that TE-Compensation is superior.

We currently do not plan to integrate electronic compensation but may
integrate electronic compensation in the future (that means in spring next
year), depending on demand. In europe we had some customers, who had to
install TE-Probes but never regretted that step.

Best wishes
Marc
