New Butterfly Vario
Hi,
I have just added the new Butterfly Vario to my web site. It is a very impressive new vario with FLARM display (when attached to a FLARM), GPS flight recorder, simple navigation, simple final glide, artificial horizon, and many other very nice features. You can see details he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/butterfly.htm Good Soaring, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. |

It will be worth informing your customers that fly in US sanctioned contests that this instrument, as described, will not be legal for use in US contests due to the incorporation of the artificial horizon.

UH I raised the same issue when I first read about it and was told that the horizon feature can be disabled for use in sanctioned contests. It looks like a very interesting new instrument and I'm looking forward to hearing some flight reviews. Mike |

Brad http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...set=a.23708717.... eventually my panel will consist of either the Butterfly or the V7 that will be talking to my PNA running LK8000 flight software. I do have a Tru-Trak which adds more to the decision making.............maybe a lot of used Tru-traks will be on the market? thanks for the link. Brad |

I added some photos of it in flight to my web site earlier today. It looks quite impressive to me. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/butte...utterfly-Vario Best Regards, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc.

Brad The real question about this vario is whether the inertial measurement unit information is successfully utilised in a way that could shift variometry up a notch. There were hopes that the 302 would develop that way when it was first introduced and similar hopes for the development of the CearNav vario but have Butterfly got there first?? If so, then the price seems not unreasonable - add a display such as a PDA or Oudie and you have all the functionality of an LX 8/9000 including its expensive compass and Artificial Horizon options. |

UH Early reports on this unit indicated the horizon can be disabled. Don't know the means or whether such disabling would be considered equivalent to having a conventional mechanical gyro instrument removed from the glider. It seems the designers did consider the need though. Andy |
