Hi,

LXNAV has just announced their new S8 stand-along speed-to-fly vario with
navigation and optional AHRS. It is very much like the new S80, but the S8
fits into a small 57 mm instrument hole.

You can see details he

LXNAV says it will not replace the V7 variometer. It is more advanced than
the V7 with more built-in sensors and capability. The price will be about
$1950 for the S8. The optional AHRS software enable upgrade is $1120.

Like the S80, it is a great replacement for many older varios - such as the
ILEC SN10, SC-7 and Cambridge L-NAV and S-NAV flight computers.

Good Soaring,
