I have flown with one since the spring in combination with an Oudie,it replaced a a L-NAV/GPS-NAV system. Although it fits the smaller 67mm panel hole it's front footprint is almost the size of an 80mm instrument. I would recommend placing it in a 80mm hole using a reducer ring. The instrument is very daylight readable, functions as advertised except for the wind info. Maybe I have a defective ISU too as was posted by someone else. I bought it as it seemed to be the most advanced instrument on the market since I was doing a major panel upgrade. The Flarm data from a portable flarm unit passed through the Butterfly to a NEMA interface box and then onto the Oudie display. It actually showed the flight path of other gliders near me right on the Oudie moving map. Very useful. The Flarm display on the Butterfly is of little value except as a secondary backup display. Voice warnings work very well however. This device is more expensive than others but not all that much more. Good support from the manufacture too. email or call if you want more info. 847-922-1234 USA

Thanks for your input.

What problem are you having with wind? Was the ISU installed per the manual? Yeah I know this is almost impossible, just wondering if you have obvious sources of EMI near the ISU?
