I have about 30 hours on the Butterfly Vario. It is as nice as it looks on page.

It is the only instrument I have seen that looks as good in direct sun as my Ultimate Le flight computer.

They have recently added the ability to use SeeYou .cup files for the goto function, it is in the approval process for the ICG approval for the flight recorder and a compensation menu for the SC speed to fly has been added.
