All together, inclusive the people from the developing-crew convinced
me, that a Light-Version, as I prefered it, would not make any sence.
1. building a full-version will cost somthing like 40-50 EURO more then
the light-version.
2. additional time for the build is minor 3. building the full version
would include an E-Vario in display as well, so I could take my Borgelt
E-Vario out of the panel Taking out the Borgelt will not only reduce
weigt of 550 Gramms, but also gives lot of additional space to go for a
7" display.
Yes, I'd agree with that, but if you're going for all electronic varios,
you might want to retain something like a 57mm Borgelt B.40 or a Tasmin
V1000 as a backup vario. Both can run for about a day from a 9V Duracell
battery, so would get you home in the case of a main battery failure.
Touch-screen has also been obandoned, now I ended up with a stick-remote
as well.
OK. I don't want to go that way: take a look a a Libelle's stick next
time you're near one and you'll see that, because of the 'automatic' trim
mechanics, it would be almost impossible to run wires from that switch
set down inside the stick: It was bad enough getting a pair through for
the radio's PTT switch, so abandoning the idea of a touch screen option
is bad news for me.
I heard last night that LK8000 for Linux is getting close to release, so
this would make a port of it to a RaspberryPi with a touch screen a more
attractive option for me.
Thermals,

Martin,
a very nice layout for the Libelle, youŽll find at the facebook-site of Stefan Langer. There you see, that it also works fine in the Libelle-panel.
He also uses a stick-remote with all functions. So it must be possible, to get all cables through the tube of the stick. But if you need informations about that, you better contact Stefan directly via Facebook for advice.
