Default Butterfly Variometers - In Stock

I'll be watching to see if they enable electronic compensation. I have a glider with no T.E. probe and the old VP-4E has better compensation electronically than any probe compensated system I've ever used. I'd really rather not drill a hole in the tail and have to run a line up the tailboom and figuring out some way to secure it in an almost completely inaccessible location if I could avoid it. I've been looking at LX and LXNav systems but the Butterfly looks like it would do a nice job of providing the functionality I need (including the Flarm display) without taking up a lot of panel space.

I'll fully understand if they don't enable electronic comp as I'm probably one of the only people interested in it!
