Preference is a Borgelt B400/500 or B600

Its also worth looking at a Borgelt B.40 it you're offered one. Its the
predecessor to the B.400.

I've been using one as a backup to the SDI C4 in my Libelle for the last
10 years. It makes nice noises, is one of the fastest responding varios
I've flown with (much faster than the C4), and since it will easily run
for over a day on the 9v PP3 battery it has for an emergency power, its
excellent insurance against main power failure

I got it second hand with a dodgy power switch, sent it back to Mike
Borgelt who gave it a full overhaul for a very reasonable price and
considerably faster than I expected.
