Like I said, we didn't attempt to fully model the
mechanism. Richard Feynmen: 'If the measurements don't agree with the theory, then the theory is probably wrong. If they do, the theory might be right.'

OK btt..
The S80 arrived after some desperate 6 month delay last week and went directly into the ship. Flying with it the first time yesterday 3.5 hours showed exelent performance. Great visibility even with sunshine and blue sky. I like the fast response without any sign of being nerveous. Even with response times of just 1.5s.. The big and bright display could be noticed without even having my eyes pointing to the dashboard. Software ins not at the feature level of the V7 yet but will be soon as the developer promised. So thumbs up for now! P. |

Surprised that software features of S80 are not up to V7 currently. What is excluded?
Wonder whether it will become a better vario since it has more sensors. It costs much more than V7. |

I have tested the S80 on the bench and it has more features than the V7. Navigation, AHRS etc. Richard www.craggyaero.com |

I just received my new S80 vario.
It might be helpful for those of us who are just now installing and calibrating our units to share. Software bugs? TE vs electronic compensation? Plumbing the TE line when shared with a mechanical vario (Sage vs Winter vs Borgelt). Flarm display results and tuning. Two way communication with a PDA with SeeYou/GN2/etc. |

Logbook is not implemented yet and Englisch only at the moment..
Different numbers in cruise/circling mode are not implemented like in the V7 AT least the undervolt warning worked for me, as I emptied both of my batteries...:-) |

If the manufacturer were able to make an extension module that included the inertial vario parts and modify the software to incorporate the module it would be pretty attractive. Craig 7Q |
