Default Hawk Wind

There is for me: I have a new glider ordered, and I considered keeping the
Butterfly vario that's in my current glider. Now, I'm willing to let it go with
the current glider when I sell it.

It should also be a useful comparison for people that want a vario with a fast
wind update, and now know there is something that may be as good (or maybe even
better) than the now unavailable Butterfly.

I would hold off making that decision until we get more positive feedback on HAWK. My friend who set up HAWK on his S10 a few days ago was disappointed on his first flight with it - a flat-land thermalling flight. On that flight at no time did it give different wind from his LX 9070, or different vario behaviour. I hope we will get better news in due course.
