Any Butterfly vario users out there care to share their experiences?
I'm particularly interested in whether the wind information is reliable and
whether the A/H is stable and usable? (Not too bothered about the
Navigation or Flarm functions as better solutions exist)

Pam,
I have approximately 400 flying hours with the Butterfly Vario. I also have a Powerflarm to V7 to Ultimate Le. The Vario and the winds are similar and I think differences can be related to the update rate. I like the netto ball feature. The A/H has been stable and usable, I would not recommend using in clouds if you are not an instrument rated pilot.
